About Shannon
Shannon Gollner is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 19 years of experience. She practices in Kentucky and focuses on stress, anxiety, grief, anger, self-esteem, and depression. Shannon helps people who are tired of quick tempers, simmering resentment, or repeated frustration that gets in the way of daily life.
She works from a straightforward, practical stance. Sessions focus on identifying patterns that trigger strong reactions and on building small, repeatable skills. Clients learn ways to notice rising anger, slow down automatic responses, and choose different actions in the moment.
Shannon treats mood and relationship-related concerns that often sit alongside anger. That includes attachment issues, codependency, caregiver stress, infidelity, loneliness, and obsessive or compulsive behavior. She also addresses problems tied to blended family situations, commitment doubts, and midlife transitions.
Her approach emphasizes collaboration. Shannon sees the client as the person who knows their life best and brings strengths to the work. She helps people connect those strengths to clear steps they can try between sessions, like changing communication habits or testing new coping strategies.
Sessions are practical and goal-focused. Shannon encourages measurable change over time rather than quick fixes. People who want to manage anger without blame or judgment often find the direct style useful. She offers services in English and practices in Kentucky as an LCSW.
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Shannon uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on behavior and relationships. One common approach helps people spot the thoughts and triggers that lead to angry reactions, then practices alternative responses to reduce impulsive behavior. This method is useful for stress, anxiety, and reactive anger. Another approach centers on improving attachment and communication patterns. It helps people understand how past relationship dynamics influence current responses and supports clearer, calmer interactions.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Shannon collaborates with each person to identify what fits their needs, goals, and preferences. She will help prioritize which strategies to try first and adjust the plan as progress is seen.
The biography does not list specific online session formats. Please confirm the available session types before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. For some people, voice-only meetings lower the pressure to be on camera, while video sessions support seeing nonverbal cues during practice and role-play.
