Shannon Gooch

Shannon Gooch is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps adults who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or worn out by life’s pressures. She writes plainly and listens closely to understand what matters most to each person. Parents and individuals often come for help with depression, anxiety, relationship strain, and struggles around food and body image. Shannon brings ten years of clinical experience and a practical focus to sessions. She earned a bachelor’s degree in psychology and a master’s degree in professional counseling. Those training steps shaped her skills in guiding people through crisis, grief, and complex trauma. In the therapy room she uses clear, doable strategies rather than long lectures. Sessions often include identifying unhelpful thinking patterns, setting small goals, and building coping skills for stress and anger. She also works with issues tied to adoption and foster care, blended family challenges, and parenting strain. Her style is warm and collaborative. She talks with clients about what is working, what isn’t, and what to try next. That practical focus helps people make changes that fit day-to-day life. Shannon’s background includes work with adolescents, at-risk youth, and adults across several practice settings. She aims to help people find more purpose, improve emotional resilience, and strengthen relationships.

How Shannon Uses Talk Therapy Approaches Online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on meeting people where they are and building a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship. It helps when someone needs acceptance and encouragement to talk through difficult feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical ways to shift unhelpful patterns; it is often used for depression, anxiety, and body image concerns. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Shannon will talk with each person about goals and preferences and will tailor methods based on what feels useful. That means trying strategies, checking what helps, and adjusting as needed rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan. If you are considering online therapy, confirm current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered. Online care can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Many people also find it easier to practice skills between sessions when meeting remotely. Licensed professionals and therapists can help arrange a rhythm and session length that fits daily routines.
