Shannon Gooch, LPC

Shannon Gooch is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people facing relationship strain, low self-esteem, depression, grief, and trauma. She writes plainly and listens closely so clients feel understood. Her style is warm and collaborative, aimed at practical change rather than long lectures.

Shannon draws on ten years of clinical experience in a range of settings. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused techniques to help people spot unhelpful thinking and try small, doable steps toward better days. She also works with trauma-focused ideas when past events are getting in the way of daily life.

Her background includes a bachelor’s degree in psychology and a master’s degree in professional counseling. Shannon’s family life as a wife and mother informs a pragmatic, empathic approach. She pays attention to details and focuses on skills people can use between sessions.

People come to her for help with parenting stress, career pressures, anger, bipolar concerns, and issues around abandonment, adoption, or blended families. She also supports those dealing with infidelity, codependency, body image, and communication problems.

Sessions emphasize clear goals, coping tools, and steady progress. Shannon works with clients to build emotional resilience and practical strategies so they can move forward with more confidence and clarity.

How Shannon’s approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building trust while following the client’s pace. It helps when someone needs acceptance, better self-understanding, and a nonjudgmental space to talk. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors and teaches concrete skills like thought records and coping plans to reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety. Solution-Focused Therapy zooms in on small, practical steps and future-focused goals so progress is visible quickly.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Shannon collaborates with each person to choose which methods suit their needs and goals. Together they try strategies, check how they worked, and adjust the plan as needed so therapy stays useful and focused.

Please confirm the therapist's current online session options before booking because formats are not listed in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, skip travel time, or use shorter check-ins when that is helpful. Licensed professionals often find the same therapeutic techniques translate well to online meetings, with tools and handouts adapted for virtual use.
