About Greg
Greg Shannon is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) with nine years of clinical experience. He supports people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, grief, trauma, and intimacy or relationship struggles. He also offers coaching for performance at work, in athletics, and personal growth.
Greg practices in Pennsylvania and provides services in English. Greg keeps sessions straightforward and practical. He starts by building rapport so clients feel heard and not judged.
From there he focuses on real problems and clear goals.
Background and approach
He pairs discussion with tools and measurable steps so people can see if things improve. His approach draws from several evidence-based methods, including cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused techniques. Greg tends to use brief, strength-based strategies that anyone can apply between sessions.
He emphasizes accountability and regular feedback to track progress. People who want help moving past addiction, managing mood swings, or handling big life changes may find his mix of coaching and therapy useful. He also works with issues such as parenting stress, compassion fatigue, ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, and career challenges.
Sessions aim to produce skills and habits that fit into daily life. Greg encourages a practical, collaborative relationship. He asks questions, offers tools, and checks in on what’s working.
If someone is ready to take a step toward change, he provides steady support and clear next steps.
Practical therapies for online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where the client leads the conversation and the therapist reflects and clarifies. This approach helps people feel understood so they can explore what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related issues.Greg will work together with each person to decide which approach or mix of approaches fits best. That choice depends on the client’s goals, current difficulties, and what feels most useful in practice. The therapist offers clear recommendations but keeps decisions collaborative so the plan matches real life needs.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These formats let people fit sessions around work, school, or parenting responsibilities. They also allow shorter check-ins or ongoing messaging between meetings for accountability and quick support. The goal is to make therapy flexible and practical so skills learned in sessions transfer into everyday routines.
Client-Centered Therapy
The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
