About Shannon
Shannon Julianne Toy is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker - Clinical (LCSW-C) in Maryland and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with seven years of professional experience. She practices from Michigan and works with adults on concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, anger, relationship and intimacy issues, trauma and abuse, grief, eating and body image concerns, ADHD, and parenting-related stress.
Julianne uses straightforward, practical methods in sessions. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Client-Centered approaches to help people notice patterns, try small changes, and build ways of responding that fit their life. Mindfulness and narrative techniques are also part of her practice when they suit a person’s goals.
Her background includes clinical work across many settings, including community, schools, hospitals, and crisis care. That variety informs how she adapts tools for everyday situations - at work, at home, or in relationships. She has experience with brief crisis-focused interventions and both individual and group counseling.
Julianne describes her style as solution-focused and client-centered. She involves people in decisions about their care and focuses on strengths and practical steps rather than only problems. Sessions emphasize clear goals, exercises to try between meetings, and regular check-ins on what is working.
She offers services in English and does not take international clients. Costs vary by location and use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Julianne commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. ACT focuses on clarifying what matters to a person and developing actions that align with those values while learning to notice unhelpful thoughts. CBT breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to shift patterns that fuel anger and anxiety.She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which centers the person’s own goals and perspective. That means she collaborates on goals and adjusts methods based on what the client prefers and what actually helps. Finding the right approach is a shared process and may combine elements from several methods.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Many people find remote sessions helpful because they can fit meetings into work breaks, avoid travel time, and try short focused check-ins when needed. Whether sessions become skills-focused practice, values-based planning, or CBT homework, the online setup is used to make the work practical and easier to fit into everyday life.
