About Shannon
Shannon Sartori is an LCSW - Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in Oklahoma. She brings two decades of hands-on experience in mental health and a calm, warm presence to sessions. Parents and individuals will find straightforward support for stress, anxiety, depression, grief and relationship concerns.
Shannon uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as a core method and pairs it with practical, strengths-based conversation. She helps people identify patterns that get in the way and practice different thoughts and actions that lead to change.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on clear goals, simple tools, and steady progress rather than technical jargon. Her background includes work in youth and family centers, coordinating in-school therapy programs, and managing services under the Victims of Crime Act. She has also worked with court and prison systems and completed assessment and referral for people with serious mental illness.
That variety has given her experience with trauma, addiction, first responder issues, and grief. Shannon also brings experience from independent practice, where she supports people dealing with intimacy issues, parenting strain, career stress, eating and sleeping problems, gender dysphoria concerns, and living with chronic conditions such as HIV/AIDS. She is comfortable addressing ADHD, bipolar symptoms, hoarding, and compassion fatigue.
Her style is relaxed and empowering. Shannon aims to help people notice their strengths and build on them one step at a time. She invites a collaborative, practical approach to problem solving and goal setting.
How CBT and online sessions work together
Shannon uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT involves identifying specific patterns that fuel anxiety, depression, or unhealthy habits and then trying practical exercises to shift those patterns. It is useful for managing stress, anxiety, mood symptoms, sleep and eating problems, and many common daily struggles.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Shannon will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and daily life. She listens to what matters most, adjusts techniques over time, and checks in on progress so the plan stays useful and realistic.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls are good for working face-to-face and doing interactive exercises. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for brief check-ins. Live chat and text messaging make it simple to touch base between sessions or to access support on a tighter schedule. These options help fit therapy into work, family, and other responsibilities while keeping the focus on practical change.
