About Shannon
Shannon Crandall is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, and relationship strain. She speaks plainly and aims to make therapy a practical space for working through day-to-day problems. Shannon draws on seven years of clinical experience as an LCSW to guide conversations and plan next steps.
Shannon focuses on clear goals and usable tools. She uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people spot unhelpful thinking and build different habits.
Background and approach
Sessions tend to be straightforward and task-oriented, with time for reflection and skill practice. Her background includes a range of community and clinical settings. That experience shaped a flexible style that adapts to pressing problems like grief, burnout, or life transitions.
She also supports people coping with adoption and foster care issues, caregiver stress, and the pressures of first responder roles. In a typical session Shannon listens for concrete patterns that keep people stuck. Then she helps develop small experiments to test new ways of coping.
Many clients work on communication, self-esteem, parenting strain, or career decisions while also addressing mood and trauma-related concerns. Sessions are offered in English from Missouri. Shannon aims to make therapy understandable and usable so people can try different approaches and find what helps them move forward.
How CBT and online sessions work together
Shannon uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT focuses on small, practical steps you can try between sessions to reduce anxiety, improve mood, and manage attention or impulsivity challenges.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Shannon will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they decide whether to focus on thought patterns, behavior change, or problem-solving strategies and adjust as needs shift.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video lets people use face-to-face interaction for skill demonstrations. Phone sessions can work well if bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging suit quick updates, homework review, or checks between sessions. These options make therapy easier to fit around work, caregiving, or school commitments.
