Shannon Talley, LPC - Therapist in Virginia

About Shannon

Shannon Talley is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Virginia. She focuses on parenting and many common concerns parents face, including stress, anxiety, grief, depression, mood disorders, and coping with life changes. She emphasizes strengths and believes each person knows their story best.

Her aim is to support parents who are ready to make small changes that build a more manageable family life. Shannon draws on attachment-based ideas to look at relationships and patterns that affect daily life.

Background and approach

She also uses cognitive behavioral tools to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. Mindfulness skills are offered when slowing down and grounding in the moment will help reduce overwhelm. Sessions can be direct and goal-focused when a person prefers practical steps.

At other times she moves more slowly, offering a steady presence while a client processes strong emotions. The pace and methods shift to fit what the individual needs that day. Shannon has eight years of professional experience and holds Virginia license number VA LPC 0701011592.

Her background covers a wide range of issues including ADHD, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related concerns, addictions, LGBTQ topics, and end-of-life matters. She provides services in English and offers several remote formats to accommodate busy family schedules. Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a session that fits each parent’s availability.

Practical therapeutic approaches for busy families

Shannon often uses attachment-based work to look at how relationships shape behavior and emotional responses. That approach helps identify patterns between caregivers and children and can point to small changes that improve trust and connection.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy or CBT to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. CBT is useful for reducing anxiety, managing mood swings, and building concrete skills parents can try between sessions.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Shannon will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels doable. She adjusts methods over time so the work stays relevant and fits family life.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to schedule around parenting duties. These options let people check in from home, debrief after a challenging moment, or work through skills in shorter formats when needed. The variety of formats supports steady progress while keeping therapy practical for busy households.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

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.
