About Shannon
Shannon Young is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in New York with five years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, major life changes, and attention concerns such as trouble with focus and concentration.
Shannon uses straightforward conversation to identify what is most pressing for each person. Sessions focus on practical strategies for managing symptoms, improving daily routines, and strengthening communication. She also pays attention to attachment patterns and how they affect relationships and expectations.
When isolation or social anxiety makes it hard to connect, she helps people practice small steps toward more comfortable interaction. For relationship concerns she emphasizes clearer communication and managing reactivity. For attention and focus issues she looks at routines, environmental supports, and coping strategies that fit day-to-day life.
Shannon frames therapy as a collaborative process. She and the person set goals, try techniques, and check what is or isn’t working. Progress is tracked in concrete ways so adjustments can be made when needed.
Her approach is practical and direct, aimed at helping people regain steadier functioning at work, at home, and around other everyday demands. Sessions are conducted in English and based in New York.
BHow sessions work
Approaches used in online sessions and practical benefits
Shannon uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on skills and behavior change. One approach concentrates on building practical coping skills for anxiety and stress, such as breathing, activity scheduling, and stepwise exposure to feared situations. These techniques help reduce immediate symptoms and make daily life more manageable.Another approach looks at patterns in relationships and attachment. This work helps identify how past expectations affect current interactions and teaches clearer ways to communicate needs and set boundaries. It is useful for people who want less reactivity and more predictable interactions with others.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Shannon will discuss goals and preferences, try concrete techniques, and adjust the plan based on what helps. That makes sessions collaborative rather than one-size-fits-all.
Confirm the specific session formats before booking since formats were not specified in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten travel time, and allow quick check-ins during a work break. Different formats also let someone choose a session that fits their attention, technology, and scheduling needs rather than forcing a single way of meeting.
