About Shannon
Shannon Julianne Toy is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with seven years of experience. She is licensed in Virginia, holds an LCSW-C in Maryland, and a LMSW in Michigan. Shannon works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, mood concerns, trauma, relationship strain, eating and body image issues, and other life changes.
She describes her style as solution-focused and client-centered. Sessions tend to focus on practical steps and building on strengths. She draws on cognitive behavioral methods and mindfulness to help people notice patterns and try new responses.
Shannon also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and narrative ideas to help people clarify values and reframe difficult stories. That can be useful for grief, identity questions, and coping with ongoing stress. She pays attention to intersectional concerns like LGBT issues, adoption and attachment matters, and kink-affirming care where relevant.
Her background includes work in hospitals, schools, courts, jails, community settings, and home-based work. She has experience as a case manager and as a crisis therapist providing brief interventions. That variety informs a practical approach to everyday problems like parenting strain, career stress, anger, and compassion fatigue.
Shannon encourages collaboration in planning care. She aims to include people in each step, talk through options, and try approaches that fit each person's life and goals. Prospective clients should confirm current session formats when they schedule.
BHow sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice what matters to them and take small committed actions toward those values. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and difficulties with motivation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and trying behavioral experiments to change patterns; it is frequently used for anxiety, mood concerns, and coping strategies. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, validation, and working at the client's pace to set goals and make decisions. Deciding which approach to use is part of the work together. Shannon treats the choice as collaborative and adapts methods based on a person's goals, preferences, and day-to-day demands. She will discuss options and try techniques that fit how someone prefers to work. The original profile indicates experience with teletherapy but does not list specific current formats. Confirm the session options before booking to know whether video or phone sessions are available. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time so therapy works alongside work, parenting, and other commitments.CAreas of focus
