Shannon GoochLPC

Shannon Gooch is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who supports people facing relationship strain, low self-esteem, grief, trauma, depression, and parenting challenges. She writes plainly and listens closely to help clients find practical steps forward. Shannon brings ten years of counseling experience and a calm, focused presence to sessions.

Shannon holds a Bachelor’s degree in psychology and a Master’s degree in professional counseling. Her work has included adults, adolescents, families, and at-risk youth across several practice settings. Those varied roles shaped a detail-oriented, compassionate style that centers real-life problem solving.

Her approach is warm and collaborative. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors. Solution-Focused techniques guide short-term goal setting and small, doable changes.

Shannon also brings experience with trauma-focused work and supports people coping with grief, loss, and the aftermath of difficult events. She emphasizes skills for emotional regulation, clearer communication, and rebuilding daily routines.

In sessions she aims to be practical and respectful, offering strategies clients can use between meetings. The focus is on making steady progress toward clearer goals and more manageable days. People who want straightforward, skill-based counseling often find this style helpful.

Therapeutic approaches for online care

Shannon commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot thinking patterns that cause distress and to try practical behavior changes that reduce symptoms. CBT works well for anxiety, depression, and stress when someone wants concrete tools and short-term progress.

She also draws on Solution-Focused Therapy to set clear, achievable goals and build on what is already working. This approach is useful when clients want focused sessions that produce immediate, measurable steps toward change.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels helpful. They will try methods and adjust over time so sessions match the client's needs.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy life by eliminating travel time, allowing shorter check-ins around work, and offering more flexibility for scheduling. Many people find virtual meetings convenient for maintaining consistent care while balancing parenting, work, or other responsibilities.
