Shannon Nelson, LPCC

Shannon Nelson is a California-licensed LPCC, a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor, with three years of clinical experience supporting people facing stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, depression, and challenges related to ADHD. Her practice draws heavily on time spent in school settings working with children, teens, and young adults, including those with ASD, ADHD, anxiety, depression, and other mental health needs. That background informs a practical, developmentally sensitive approach that attends to both everyday functioning and longer-term growth.

Shannon centers therapy on each person’s strengths, operating from the view that clients are the experts of their own stories and already possess resources that can be mobilized to address current struggles. She combines empathy with skill-building strategies to improve motivation, emotion regulation, and confidence while addressing interpersonal and attachment-related concerns.

Clients seeking help with relationship and abandonment issues, caregiver stress, body image, codependency, impulsivity, or family and communication problems will find focused support that balances symptom management with exploration of underlying patterns. Shannon aims to offer steady encouragement and practical tools to help clients move toward more fulfilling and manageable daily life.

Attachment, Client-Centered, and CBT Approaches Online

Shannon commonly integrates Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) into her work. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns and can be useful for clients dealing with abandonment, commitment, or attachment issues. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathic listening and nonjudgmental support, helping individuals build self-esteem and find their own solutions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers practical strategies for managing anxiety, depression, anger, and ADHD-related challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Shannon works collaboratively with clients to identify the methods that best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques as progress unfolds. This partnership helps ensure interventions feel relevant and manageable.

Online therapy options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging provide flexibility for scheduling and make it possible to access licensed professionals from home, school, or work. These formats support consistent care while accommodating varied communication styles and day-to-day responsibilities.
