About Shannon
Shannon Bartlett is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing relationship strain, parenting challenges, anger, anxiety, depression, and other stressful life changes. She works in North Carolina and offers practical, down-to-earth support for people feeling stuck or overwhelmed. Shannon approaches sessions believing each person knows their life best.
She listens for strengths and practical options. Together she and a client identify small, realistic steps that can reduce stress and improve daily functioning.
Background and approach
Her work draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy. That means conversations focus on patterns of thoughts and behaviors, and on clear goals and strategies to reach them. Sessions often include problem-solving, skill practice, and reframing unhelpful thinking.
Shannon brings seven years of experience in behavioral health settings. Her background includes helping people manage grief, trauma and abuse, bipolar challenges, ADHD, and identity concerns in the LGBT community. She aims to be straightforward and respectful in sessions.
Clients can expect a collaborative process that balances listening with practical tools. Shannon supports people who want to make changes in work, relationships, or general coping. She frames progress as small steps that add up over time.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Shannon uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thought and behavior patterns. That approach often involves identifying specific thoughts that lead to distress and practicing new ways of responding to everyday situations.She also draws on Solution-Focused Therapy which emphasizes clear, short-term goals. Sessions using this approach look for what is already working and build small, actionable steps toward the client’s goals.
Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Shannon works with clients to decide which techniques fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She may blend methods and adjust strategies as progress unfolds so the plan stays practical and relevant.
Online therapy offers flexibility for people with busy schedules or limited travel options. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be a lower-bandwidth option, and live chat or text-based messaging works well for brief check-ins or ongoing support between meetings. These formats make it easier to fit regular sessions into work breaks, caregiving routines, or daily life.
