About Shannon
Shannon Gutwein is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in Wyoming with 14 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing depression, anxiety, addiction, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, and life changes. Sessions focus on practical problems like workplace stress, communication issues, and managing intense emotions.
Shannon uses straightforward talk to help people sort out what matters most. She draws on client-centered methods to listen and understand each person's experience. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy tools are used to spot unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior changes.
She also incorporates elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy for emotion regulation and mindfulness strategies to reduce overwhelm. Motivational Interviewing is part of the work with substance concerns and other areas where making change feels stalled. These are tools she chooses based on each person's needs and goals.
Shannon often addresses issues that overlap, such as addiction combined with grief or caregiver stress linked to aging relatives. She helps people clarify priorities, set realistic steps, and practice new ways of communicating. The focus is on clear, usable skills rather than abstract theory.
Shannon practices in Wyoming and conducts sessions in English. Her approach is practical and grounded, aimed at reducing day-to-day strain and improving how people manage relationships, work, and mood. To begin, clients complete a short questionnaire and schedule a first session.
BHow sessions work
How her approaches are used in online sessions
Shannon commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy to create space for people to tell their story and set their own goals, focusing on understanding rather than imposing solutions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and try practical behavior changes that reduce anxiety or depression. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills are taught to help manage intense emotions and improve interpersonal effectiveness.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Shannon will discuss options and try methods that match the client's needs, goals, and preferences. The process is collaborative and adjusts based on what helps in real life.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten travel time, and allow brief check-ins between appointments when needed. Some approaches, like skills practice from DBT or CBT homework, translate well to remote work and can be integrated into weekly sessions to support day-to-day changes.
