About Shannon
Shannon Gooch is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who focuses on helping people facing relationship struggles, low self-esteem, depression, trauma, and parenting stress. She offers steady, practical support for those feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure where to begin. Shannon writes clearly and listens carefully to each person’s story to find realistic next steps.
Shannon has about 10 years of clinical experience and lives in Texas. She holds a bachelor's degree in psychology and a master’s degree in professional counseling, and she brings both clinical experience and everyday life perspective as a wife and mother. That combination shapes a direct, compassionate style in sessions.
Her work centers on clear goals and usable tools. She often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking patterns. She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to set small, concrete goals and track progress over time. Trauma-focused methods are used when past hurt is a central issue.
In sessions Shannon helps people identify root concerns, practice coping skills, and build routines that support better mood and relationships. She can help with issues such as grief, anger, career transitions, bipolar mood struggles, and challenges tied to adoption and foster care. Her approach is collaborative and action-oriented.
Clients can expect straightforward conversation, symptom-focused strategies, and regular check-ins on what is working. The emphasis is on skills people can use between sessions to handle stress, improve communication, and move toward clearer priorities.
How her approach translates to online therapy
Shannon often blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy when working with clients. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people spot thoughts that make situations feel worse and practice new thinking patterns and coping skills. Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes small, achievable steps and tracking progress to build momentum toward concrete goals.Choosing a therapeutic approach is something Shannon does together with each person. She will ask about your goals, what has helped before, and what feels doable, then try methods that match those needs. If an approach doesn’t fit, she will adjust the plan with you so sessions stay practical and goal oriented.
Because specific session formats are not detailed here, please confirm current options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days and reduce travel time. It can also allow for shorter check-ins or flexible scheduling when life is hectic. Many people find that regular online sessions help them practice new skills in real time and keep steady progress between visits.
