About Shantel
Shantel Farrow is a licensed marriage and family therapist who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and ADHD-related struggles. She works with individuals who want clearer day-to-day coping strategies and more balanced relationships. Her tone is practical and empathic for people who may feel overwhelmed seeking help.
Shantel centers sessions on what matters to each person. She listens for patterns in relationships, work, and self-talk, then helps clients try small, doable changes.
Background and approach
Her work often focuses on improving communication, reducing avoidance, and building routines that make life more manageable. Her background includes eight years of clinical experience in Oklahoma as an LMFT - licensed marriage and family therapist. She draws on a mix of approaches to match each client's needs rather than using one fixed method.
This helps her tailor sessions to concerns like trauma recovery, grief, parenting strain, or coping with life changes. Shantel uses both short-term skills training and deeper work on attachment and past hurts. She offers practical tools for sleep, eating, and anger regulation alongside trauma-focused techniques when needed.
Clients can expect straightforward goals, check-ins on progress, and adjustments when something isn't working. Many people choose her for help with relationship patterns, self-esteem, addiction struggles, or career stress. She also supports those dealing with chronic illness, caregiver burden, or identity-related stress.
The focus is on useful steps people can take between sessions to feel steadier and more in control.
Approach and access: therapy methods that translate online
Shantel commonly uses Attachment-Based Therapy to help people understand relationship patterns and how early bonds shape current reactions. This approach looks at how connections with others affect trust, communication, and feelings of safety, and it can help with intimacy and relationship struggles.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. CBT offers clear strategies for managing anxiety, mood shifts, sleep problems, and day-to-day routines by testing unhelpful thoughts and building new habits.
Finding the best approach is a joint process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and try methods that match those needs. If something doesn’t fit, she adjusts the plan together with the client until it feels helpful and realistic.
Online therapy makes these methods easier to use across formats. Video calls work well for deeper conversations and EMDR-style processing when needed. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or a client prefers no camera. Live chat and text messaging suit quick check-ins, short coaching, and tracking homework between longer sessions. These options offer flexibility so people can keep therapy going while juggling work, caregiving, or health demands.
