Shannon Samuel, LPC

Shannon Samuel is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who supports adults navigating stress, anxiety, grief, relationship challenges, and major life changes. With a master’s degree in counseling and 10 years of clinical experience, she blends practical tools with empathic listening to help people feel more grounded and capable when life feels overwhelming.

Shannon’s approach is warm, down-to-earth, and nonjudgmental. She works especially with caregivers and those who often put others first, offering a space to focus on personal needs and emotional recovery. In session she helps clients make sense of difficult feelings, examine unhelpful thoughts, and develop habits that support clearer decision making and greater emotional resilience.

Drawing on evidence-based methods such as client-centered techniques, cognitive behavioral strategies, and emotionally-focused work, Shannon partners with clients to identify what is working and what needs to change. Sessions move at each person’s pace and prioritize practical skills alongside deeper understanding, so clients can make sustainable changes that feel authentic. She practices in Texas and provides therapy in English for adults seeking support with mood, trauma, relationships, parenting, career concerns, and related life stressors.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Shannon often uses client-centered therapy, a respectful, person-focused approach that prioritizes the client’s perspective and emotional experience. This method helps people feel heard and supported while they explore values, choices, and personal goals.

She also incorporates cognitive behavioral therapy or CBT, which helps identify unhelpful thinking patterns and teaches practical skills to manage symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress. CBT is useful for clients who want structured techniques to change how thoughts influence emotions and behaviors.

Emotionally-focused therapy is another option Shannon may use when relationships or attachment issues are central. EFT helps partners and individuals understand and shift emotional responses that keep them stuck, improving connection and emotional regulation.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Shannon will work with each client to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as therapy progresses.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, continue care during life changes, and maintain regular contact with a licensed professional when in-person visits are not possible.
