Shannon Crandall, LCSW

Shannon Crandall is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Missouri with seven years of clinical experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, grief, addiction concerns, parenting challenges, and attention-related issues such as ADHD.

Shannon uses practical methods to address everyday problems. She relies on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. Sessions focus on clear goals and small steps that can fit into a busy life.

She also brings experience working with adoption and foster care matters, caregiver stress, first responder concerns, and postpartum and women’s issues. That background shapes how she talks through family and communication problems and supports people facing isolation or life transitions.

Shannon aims to make therapy understandable and usable. Conversations are straightforward and focused on what a person wants to change, such as mood, sleep, work stress, or relationships. Homework and skill practice are offered when helpful to reinforce what is discussed in session.

Her work reflects time spent in multiple settings and a continued interest in learning practical tools. People who prefer clear, behavior-focused methods and step-by-step planning may find this approach useful. Sessions are offered in English and Shannon does not work with international clients.
