About Shannon
Shannon Nelson, LPCC, is licensed in California and has three years of clinical experience. She works on stress, anxiety, anger, self-esteem, depression, and ADHD. She says clients are the experts on their own stories and looks for strengths to build on during care.
Shannon’s work grew from time spent in school settings. She supported children, teens, and young adults with autism spectrum disorder, ADHD, anxiety, depression, and other mental health needs. That experience shaped how she talks with people and structures sessions.
Her sessions are practical and conversational. She listens to current concerns and helps people set small, manageable goals. Strategies may include examining patterns of thought, practicing emotion regulation skills, and looking at personal narratives that influence behavior.
Shannon uses approaches such as attachment-based methods, client-centered techniques, cognitive behavioral work, dialectical behavior strategies, and narrative therapy. She combines these to address emotional regulation, relationship patterns, and self-image in ways that fit each person’s situation.
She pays attention to how past relationships affect present reactions. She also focuses on communication and coping tools for everyday life. Parents reading this should note her background in educational settings and experience with neurodiverse young people.
Sessions are conducted in English and follow the therapist’s stated process for getting started. Prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling a first appointment.

Approaches used in online sessions
Shannon commonly draws on attachment-based work, client-centered methods, and cognitive behavioral techniques in her online sessions. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current reactions and helps people identify patterns in how they relate to others. Client-centered methods focus on listening and following the person’s lead while highlighting existing strengths. Cognitive behavioral work examines thought and behavior patterns and helps build practical skills to reduce anxiety and manage mood.Finding the best approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That choice can change over time as needs evolve.
Confirm the available online session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and coping skills for remote sessions to support progress in everyday life.
