About Shannon
Shannon Sartori is an LCSW - Licensed Clinical Social Worker - practicing in Oklahoma with 20 years of experience. She works with adults on common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, grief, and anger. Shannon also supports people managing addiction, ADHD, eating and sleeping problems, and career or life transitions.
Her background includes work in youth and family centers, in-school therapy coordination, management of Victims of Crime Act services, and roles in court and prison settings. She has also completed assessment and referral for people with serious mental illness and has experience in private practice. This mix of settings shaped a practical approach to day-to-day problems.
Shannon uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside psychodynamic ideas and an empowerment-oriented approach. In sessions she helps people identify patterns of thought and behavior that keep problems going. She also looks at past experiences that influence how someone responds now. The work focuses on concrete changes and growing personal strengths.
Clients can expect straightforward conversation about goals, habits, and small strategies to test between sessions. She pays attention to how relationships and stress at work or home affect emotions like anger and resentment. Shannon helps people practice new responses and notice what works.
Her experience covering victims services, court-linked work, and clinical assessment informs a pragmatic style. She uses that background to help people who need clear steps for coping, managing strong feelings, and handling transitions.
CBT and practical online work for managing strong emotions
Shannon uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change thinking and behavior patterns that feed anger and anxiety. CBT sessions focus on clear steps - like testing small behavior changes, trying new ways to respond, and tracking what improves day to day.She also draws on psychodynamic ideas to consider how past experiences affect current reactions. That perspective can help explain recurring patterns in relationships and why some situations trigger intense feelings. Together these approaches aim to connect practical skills with longer-standing patterns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Shannon will talk with clients about goals and preferences and collaborate to choose methods that fit their needs. That makes sessions more useful and helps people practice strategies that match their life.
