About Shannon

Shannon Davis is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who uses practical, goal-focused therapy to help people move forward. She favors clear, hands-on methods that break problems into manageable steps. Sessions are straightforward and aim to change unhelpful thinking and behaviors so daily life feels easier.

Shannon writes and speaks plainly, and she prioritizes making sessions comfortable for people who find asking for help difficult. She draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, and trauma-informed strategies to address a range of concerns.

Background and approach

Those include depression, anxiety, stress, parenting struggles, relationship and family issues, grief, and identity concerns such as LGBT matters. She also addresses topics like adoption and foster care, attachment and blended family issues, and coping with major life changes.

Shannon has five years of clinical experience and holds state licensure as an LPC in Colorado and Texas - CO LPC 0019974 and TX LPC 79218. She offers work that is collaborative and tailored to individual goals, with attention to what feels practical and doable for each person. Sessions may include short-term, solution-focused work or longer trauma-focused care when needed.

Shannon explains options early in the process so people understand what to expect. She practices from Texas and conducts sessions in English for those who live in the state. To begin, she asks people to complete an initial consultation that reviews reasons for seeking support and outlines a possible plan.

That first conversation helps determine whether the approach and fit feel right for the person and their family.

How therapy approaches translate online

Shannon commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness in her online work. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase moment-to-moment awareness, which can help with stress and emotion management.

She frames treatment as a collaborative process. Together the client and therapist decide which approaches fit the persons goals and needs. Early sessions include a discussion of priorities and a plan, so the work is tailored and adjusted as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make therapy accessible around work and family schedules. These formats allow for flexible check-ins, focused skills work, or longer conversations depending on what a person needs. The mix of formats can help maintain momentum between more in-depth sessions and make it easier to fit therapy into everyday life.

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.

Mindfulness Therapy

Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.

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.
