About Shannon
Shannon Talley is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Virginia with eight years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, grief, bipolar disorder, depression, addictions, parenting concerns, intimacy issues, and related mood challenges. She also supports issues around LGBT concerns, ADHD, and compassion fatigue.
Shannon begins by listening to what a person already knows about their situation. She treats people as the experts on their own lives and builds on existing strengths. Sessions may be direct and action-focused when a client wants concrete steps, or slower and reflective when a person needs time to process difficult feelings.
Her approach draws on attachment-based ideas and client-centered practice. That means attention to how relationships shape feelings, and a focus on the person's priorities rather than a rigid plan. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness techniques are used to address thinking patterns and stress management.
Shannon can work with adult clients on concerns related to parenting, career stress, isolation, hoarding, gender dysphoria, hospice and end-of-life matters, and seasonal mood shifts. She is based in Virginia and practices in English.
Practical steps in sessions can include goal-setting, checking brief behavioral changes, and practicing new ways of coping. She may encourage small challenges to build confidence, or offer time to talk through grief and loss. To begin, readers are asked to use the online matching and scheduling process provided by the site.
How sessions work
How Shannon’s approaches shape online sessions
Shannon uses attachment-based ideas to look at how relationships influence feelings and behavior. That approach can help when relationship patterns affect parenting, intimacy, or ongoing anxiety. Client-centered methods focus on the person's priorities and pace, so sessions follow what the client brings rather than a fixed agenda.She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and try small behavioral changes. CBT techniques are often practical and useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems. These methods are described and tried together so the client can see what fits their goals.
Finding the right way to work is a collaborative process. Shannon will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before recommending an approach. Clients and therapist adjust the plan as needed based on progress and comfort level.
The original biography does not list specific session formats. Please confirm current session options before booking so you know what’s offered. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so therapy can be scheduled around parenting or work obligations. Licensed professionals can use different styles within online sessions to match a client's needs, pace, and access to quiet time.
