About Shannon

Shannon Gooch is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with ten years of experience. She helps adults who struggle with anger, relationships, depression, grief, trauma, parenting concerns, and career stress. Shannon writes plainly and focuses on practical steps rather than long theory. She communicates in English.

Shannon holds a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and a Master’s degree in Professional Counseling. Over a decade she has worked in a range of practice settings, which shaped her attention to detail and her straightforward style. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused techniques to identify thought patterns and create concrete coping strategies.

In sessions she breaks down problems into manageable parts. People review what sparks strong reactions, learn ways to respond differently, and practice new skills between meetings. She also uses trauma-focused methods when past events keep affecting present behavior.

Shannon describes her work as collaborative. She helps people name what matters, set short-term goals, and track progress with practical tools. That can include communication skills for tense conversations and strategies to reduce resentful thinking.

Her background as a wife and mother contributes to a relatable approach. Sessions aim to build emotional regulation, clearer communication, and steadier daily routines. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial appointment through the site.

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the client’s perspective and on building clear, respectful communication. It helps people talk through what matters most and decide practical next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) identifies patterns of thought and behavior that keep problems going and teaches straightforward techniques to change them. CBT is useful for anger, depression, and anxiety. Solution-Focused Therapy zeroes in on small, achievable changes clients can try right away to see progress. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Shannon will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and preferences. She reviews what is helping or not, adjusts techniques, and checks in on progress together. Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since the biography does not list specific formats. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into busy days, for example by reducing travel time or allowing shorter check-ins during a break. Others appreciate the option to work without being on camera or to use quieter surroundings. Confirm current session options when you schedule so you know which format will be used.
