About Shannon
Shannon Hartman is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in California with 15 years of practice. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and major life changes, and she also addresses relationship and intimacy concerns. Her focus includes caregiver strain, compassion fatigue, addictions, and issues tied to attachment and abandonment.
Shannon starts by listening to what the client says about their life and priorities. She treats clients as the expert on their own story and helps them use their strengths to manage problems. Sessions are straightforward and aimed at usable steps you can try between meetings.
Her work draws on therapy methods like acceptance and commitment therapy, cognitive behavioral techniques, and attachment-based ideas. Those approaches guide how she helps people respond to difficult thoughts, change unhelpful patterns, and repair important connections. Existential and client-centered perspectives inform conversations about meaning and personal values.
Shannon has experience helping people with sleep problems, anger, low self-esteem, career stress, and isolation. She also supports those dealing with end-of-life matters, HIV/AIDS, and first responder stress. Her background includes responding to trauma and abuse and guiding people through divorce or separation.
If you want practical, down-to-earth sessions that focus on daily life, Shannon uses clear tools and collaborative planning. To start, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session through the site.
BHow sessions work
How her approaches work in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts without getting stuck in them and clarify what matters most. It can help with anxiety, stress, and problems that come from avoiding hard feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact and uses clear exercises to change patterns that worsen mood or anxiety. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationships shape current connections and can help with trust, intimacy, and abandonment concerns.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Shannon will talk with each person about goals, values, and what has helped or not helped before. She collaborates on a plan and adjusts methods based on how practical and relevant they feel for day-to-day life.
Confirm current session formats before booking so you know what options are offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or travel schedules. They also allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and phone sessions can require less bandwidth. Practical benefits include reducing travel time and making it simpler to keep regular meetings around a busy life.
