About Shannon
Shannon Rick is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in New York with four years of experience. She supports people facing addictions, anxiety and depression, relationship and family concerns, stress, grief, trauma and abuse, and a range of mood and behavioral challenges. Shannon works directly with issues like parenting strain, caregiver stress, communication problems, and problems related to substance use and first responder stress.
Her style is straightforward and practical. She uses a client-centered, solution-focused approach to identify immediate concerns and set clear goals. Sessions typically focus on improving communication, building self-esteem, reducing symptoms of anxiety or depression, and managing day-to-day stressors.
Shannon draws on cognitive behavioral techniques and motivational interviewing to shape collaborative action plans. She also integrates dialectical behavior strategies and mindfulness practices for emotion regulation and distress tolerance when those skills fit the person's needs.
In early sessions she listens for strengths and obstacles, then helps create a plan with manageable steps. That plan may include skills practice between meetings, new communication strategies, or coping tools for cravings and intense emotions.
She frames treatment around concrete change rather than abstract concepts. People who want clear tools, honest feedback, and steady support for life transitions or addiction-related concerns will find this approach practical and task-oriented.
BHow sessions work
Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions
Shannon commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and motivational interviewing in her work. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replacing them with more effective patterns; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and managing mood symptoms. Motivational interviewing is a goal-oriented way of talking that helps people find their own reasons for change and strengthen motivation, which is useful for substance use and readiness to change.She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy skills and mindfulness practices when emotion regulation and distress tolerance are priorities. These approaches teach concrete skills for handling intense emotions, improving relationships, and staying present during stressful moments. Deciding which methods to use is collaborative; she will work with each person to choose techniques that match their goals and preferences.
Confirm the current session formats before booking because the biography does not list specific options. Online care can make it easier to fit sessions into work or caregiving schedules, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. The focus remains on practical skills, measurable goals, and making therapy fit into everyday life rather than on abstract talk alone.
