About Bobbie
Bobbie Shannon is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) with 35 years of experience. She works from North Carolina and supports adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, and ADHD. Her approach is direct and warm, aimed at helping people find practical steps that fit their lives.
She has spent decades in mental health settings and independent practice. That experience shaped a straightforward, interactive style that focuses on what is happening now.
Background and approach
She helps clients name patterns, try new coping strategies, and adjust plans when something does not work. Her work draws on several evidence-based methods. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
Client-Centered Therapy creates a respectful space where the client’s perspective leads the work. Solution-Focused Therapy helps set small, achievable goals and track progress. Bobbie also brings skills in Emotionally-Focused and Mindfulness-based techniques when feelings and present-moment awareness need attention.
Sessions tend to be practical and grounded, with ideas clients can try between meetings. She aims to help people build clearer communication, healthier boundaries, and steadier routines. People often seek her help for parenting strain, family conflict, trauma-related concerns, sexual assault recovery, coping with life changes, and compassion fatigue.
Her practice emphasizes collaboration and real-world tools that fit each person’s situation.
Approaches that translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what the client brings. The therapist follows the client’s lead and helps them name their priorities and strengths. This approach supports issues like self-esteem, relationship patterns, and life changes.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior. It teaches concrete tools to interrupt unhelpful thinking and to build routines that reduce anxiety or depressive symptoms. CBT is often used for stress, mood disorders, ADHD-related strategies, and coping skills.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people identify and shift intense emotional patterns that affect relationships and intimacy. It is useful when strong emotions or attachment patterns make communication hard.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose which methods fit their goals and preferences. That plan can change over time as needs evolve and small experiments show what helps.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited, live chat fits shorter check-ins, and text messaging lets clients share thoughts between sessions. These options make scheduling easier and let people use formats that suit their daily routines.
