About Shannon
Shannon Samuel is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with 10 years of experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, relationship and intimacy-related issues, parenting strain, and life transitions. She also supports concerns such as abandonment, caregiver stress, guilt and shame, and feelings of emptiness.
Shannon keeps sessions straightforward and conversational. She listens, reflects, and helps clients name emotions and patterns that are getting in the way. She uses practical tools to manage strong feelings and to change unhelpful thinking and behavior. Sessions move at a client’s pace and focus on concrete steps that can make everyday life easier.
Her approach draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to look at emotions and attachment patterns, and on Client-Centered methods that emphasize the client’s experience in the room. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and shift thinking that fuels anxiety and low mood, plus mindfulness and solution-focused techniques for short-term coping.
Shannon has a master’s degree in counseling and a decade of clinical practice supporting a range of concerns. She often works with people who have been caretakers or who feel they must stay strong for others, and helps them shift toward better self-management and clearer boundaries.

How Shannon’s approaches translate to online sessions
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people notice and name feelings and patterns that shape their relationships and reactions. It can be useful when strong emotions feel confusing or when patterns of pulling away or shutting down keep repeating. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the client’s experience in the room and on listening in a way that helps people better understand their own feelings and choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety and change unhelpful thinking.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Shannon will discuss options and help decide which methods fit a person’s needs and goals. That decision is collaborative and can change as therapy progresses.
The therapist’s biography does not specify which online session formats are used, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and reduce travel time. Work during weekday breaks, quieter environments, or reduced camera use are practical reasons people choose remote sessions. Licensed professionals adapt these approaches to an online setting so the focus stays on emotions, coping skills, and clear next steps.
