About Shannon
Shannon LaTray is a licensed mental health counselor who uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside practical, goal-oriented methods. She aims to help people manage anxiety, depression, stress, and addictive behaviors. Her style is direct and compassionate, with attention to real-life problems parents and adults face.
Shannon has nine years of clinical experience and holds LMHC credentials in New York and Massachusetts. She works with people dealing with grief, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and struggles around intimacy and relationships.
Background and approach
She also supports those facing career transitions, burnout, and compassion fatigue. In sessions she blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral tools and motivational interviewing. That means she listens first, then helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new actions.
Solution-focused techniques are used to set small, practical goals and track progress between visits. Clients can expect straightforward conversations about patterns, feelings, and day-to-day coping. Shannon pays particular attention to attachment and abandonment issues, codependency, and communication problems.
She also addresses sleep and eating concerns, impulsivity, and substance use when those are part of someone's life. Shannon offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules. Sessions are arranged through a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.
She practices from New Jersey and conducts therapy in English only.

Online support
Emotion-focused and practical therapies for online care
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people identify and change painful emotional patterns. It focuses on emotions in the moment and how attachment needs shape reactions, which can be useful for intimacy issues, abandonment worries, and strong relational feelings.Client-Centered Therapy puts the person's perspective first. The therapist listens without judgment, helps reflect what is felt, and supports people in discovering their own solutions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is about noticing thought patterns and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety or depressive symptoms.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Shannon will discuss goals, try methods that fit the client's needs, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. That collaboration aims to match tools to the person's pace and priorities.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people use body language and face-to-face contact, phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports shorter check-ins, and text-based messaging helps track thoughts between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy days and varied routines.
