About Shannon
Shannon Gollner is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Alaska and Kentucky with 19 years of experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, grief and loss, anger, low self-esteem, and depression. Shannon works in straightforward terms and focuses on what clients want to change.
Shannon treats problems by listening to each person's story and building on their existing strengths. She encourages practical steps people can try between sessions. Conversations cover feelings, daily routines, relationships, and what gets in the way of moving forward.
Her approach is collaborative. Shannon asks questions, offers observations, and checks in about what methods feel useful. She pays attention to cultural background and how family or blended relationships affect everyday life.
Shannon has worked in clinical settings long enough to see many common patterns. That experience helps her spot habits that keep problems going and suggest manageable alternatives. She also supports people facing caregiver strain and the stresses of commitment, infidelity, jealousy, and midlife transitions.
People come to Shannon for a mix of emotional support and concrete tools. She addresses obsessive or compulsive behaviors, mood concerns including Disruptive Mood Dysregulation Disorder (DMDD), and struggles with guilt and shame. Sessions aim to make daily life feel more under control and less overwhelming.
BHow sessions work
How evidence-based approaches translate to online sessions
Shannon uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on changing unhelpful patterns and building everyday coping skills. Cognitive-style approaches help people identify and shift thoughts that feed anxiety, depression, or low self-esteem by practicing new ways of thinking and testing them in daily life. Behavioral strategies target routines and actions - such as activity scheduling or small exposure steps - to reduce avoidance and improve mood and functioning.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Shannon will collaborate with each person to decide which techniques fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She checks in over time and adjusts methods so sessions remain practical and relevant to what the client is facing.
Session format details should be confirmed before booking since the biography does not specify formats. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a workday or family schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. Ask about the specific session options offered so you can match scheduling and communication preferences to your everyday life.
