About Shan

Shan Croft is a licensed marriage and family therapist who practices in Georgia. She brings nine years of clinical experience and a practical, solution-oriented style to sessions. Shan focuses on helping people untangle stressful patterns, reframe difficult thoughts, and move toward clearer choices in their lives.

She speaks English and works through common life concerns such as anxiety, depression, stress, grief, addictions, and relationship challenges. Shan’s approach is collaborative and direct.

Background and approach

She aims to create a respectful space where clients can talk honestly and set realistic goals. Her work often blends cognitive behavioral techniques with solution-focused ideas to identify patterns and test small changes. Motivational interviewing is used when people need help finding their own reasons to shift behavior.

Sessions may be tailored to brief coaching-style work or deeper therapeutic exploration depending on what a person needs. Shan pays attention to how past experiences, attachment wounds, and cultural background shape current struggles. She also addresses topics like communication problems, commitment and jealousy, blended family issues, and self-worth concerns.

Practical matters are handled plainly. Sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Timing options include shorter meetings when life is busy, with flexibility around 30- and 45-minute blocks.

People ready to begin are guided through a short matching questionnaire and scheduling process. Shan aims to support and encourage progress while helping clients find workable steps forward.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening without judgment and supporting each person to find their own path; it helps when someone needs acceptance and a space to sort feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and uses practical techniques to change unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose methods that fit the person’s goals, needs, and preferences. That might mean combining elements from different approaches and adjusting over time based on how things are going.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit into busy lives. These options let people meet from home, follow up between sessions, or use shorter check-ins when needed. The variety of formats supports flexible scheduling and different styles of conversation, while keeping the focus on practical steps and steady progress.

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.

Motivational Interviewing

A way of working through mixed feelings about change without being pushed. The therapist helps you weigh things up and find your own reasons, which often makes a difficult decision feel less stuck.
