About Bobbie
Bobbie Shannon is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) who brings 35 years of psychotherapy experience to her work. She focuses on common and painful concerns like anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, relationship struggles, parenting strain, and burnout such as compassion fatigue.
She also helps with self-esteem, anger, ADHD, and intimacy-related or sexual-assault related issues. Her style is direct, warm, and interactive.
Background and approach
She listens closely and helps people find their own answers rather than prescribing them. Sessions aim to be practical and clear so clients can try new steps between meetings. Bobbie uses a mix of approaches to match a person’s needs.
That includes Emotionally-Focused Therapy to attend to feelings in relationships, Client-Centered Therapy to follow each person’s pace, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to change thoughts and behaviors. Mindfulness and Solution-Focused methods are used when helpful. She has worked in mental health facilities and independent practice for decades.
Her background includes a long history of hands-on clinical work and alternate approaches such as equine-assisted therapy experience noted in her original biography. Those experiences inform a flexible, person-focused approach in conversation and exercises. People come to her to talk through practical coping skills, navigate big life changes, and repair how they connect with others.
Her goal is to help people move toward a more authentic and manageable life one step at a time.

Online support
How emotion and behavior work in online therapy
Emotionally-Focused Therapy focuses on emotions and how they shape relationships and personal patterns; it helps people notice feelings, name them, and use them to guide change in connections and responses. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person in the room, following their pace and priorities so they feel heard and can explore what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and offers practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns and build new coping skills.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and concerns and then recommend methods that feel most useful. This is a collaborative process where plans are adjusted as needs evolve.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit busy lives. Video is useful for deeper conversations and visual connection, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in is needed, and chat or messaging can work well for brief updates and ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or family routines while keeping focus on steady progress.
