Bobbie Shannon

Bobbie Shannon is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) with more than 35 years of practice. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship struggles, parenting challenges, and coping with life changes. Her approach aims to be direct and warm so clients can make steady progress.

She works in a conversational, interactive way and meets people where they are. She believes clients know much about their own lives and helps them name goals and choose practical steps. Sessions focus on skills people can use right away to manage mood, anxiety, anger, and relationship strain.

Bobbie blends several approaches to match each person’s needs. She uses client-centered techniques to build a respectful, collaborative relationship. Cognitive behavioral strategies are used to spot unhelpful thinking and try alternative behaviors. Solution-focused methods help set short-term goals and track concrete progress.

Her background includes long work in mental health settings and private practice across state lines. She supports people dealing with trauma, domestic violence aftermath, sexual assault and abuse, codependency, and compassion fatigue. She also works with young adults and women facing life transitions.

Sessions are conducted in English and are based in North Carolina. People who want to begin can use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to therapist availability. The service uses a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work

Bobbie uses client-centered therapy to create a collaborative space where the person’s experience guides the work. This approach focuses on listening, reflecting, and helping clients identify their own goals and values.

She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect. CBT involves noticing unhelpful thinking patterns and practicing new behaviors to reduce anxiety, low mood, or anger.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will review goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped in the past, then recommend an approach or mix of approaches. This is a joint decision that can change as progress is made.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, such as shorter check-ins during a break or working around commuting and childcare. Because formats are not specified here, confirm current session options before booking so you know what is available. Licensed professionals can use different methods to support coping with life changes, grief, relationship stress, ADHD challenges, and trauma-related concerns in a way that fits daily routines.
