About Shannon
Shannon Talley is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Virginia who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and ADHD. She frames therapy around the person in front of her, believing each client knows their story and brings strengths to the work. She speaks plainly and offers steady support through change and hard moments.
With eight years of clinical experience, Shannon uses a blend of approaches to match what a person needs.
Background and approach
Some people respond well to a direct, challenge-oriented pace to build confidence. Others move more slowly and use sessions as a place to name and process difficult feelings. Her practice draws from attachment-based ideas and client-centered care, which means she pays attention to relationships and follows the client’s lead.
Cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness are used when practical, such as spotting patterns of thinking or building small, manageable coping skills. Shannon often helps people work through life transitions, relationship concerns, career stress, addiction issues, and compassion fatigue. She also supports those experiencing mood disorders, bipolar symptoms, hoarding concerns, gender dysphoria, and issues related to hospice and end-of-life situations.
Sessions are offered in English and are available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. She emphasizes collaboration in deciding goals and pace, and she aims to meet people where they are so therapy fits into their daily life.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Attachment-based work pays attention to how relationships shape feelings and behavior. Online sessions use that lens to look at patterns in close relationships and help people practice new ways of relating and regulating emotions. Client-centered therapy focuses on following the person’s lead and building a trusting connection; in remote sessions that looks like honest listening and tailoring the pace and goals to each person. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and tries small behavioral experiments to change everyday habits; online formats are well suited for practicing those experiments between sessions and checking progress quickly.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Shannon collaborates with each person to choose which methods fit their goals, personality, and life demands. She may combine approaches and adjust over time so therapy stays relevant and useful.
Online formats offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and shared visual cues. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be a good option for shorter check-ins. Live chat or text-based messaging can support quick reflections, on-the-spot coping tools, or ongoing notes between appointments. These options help fit therapy into busy schedules and different routines, while keeping the focus on what helps a person make steady progress.
