About Shannon
Shannon Seminario is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, family concerns, low self-esteem, and depression. She keeps conversations straightforward and practical so parents can quickly know what to expect. Shannon aims to make sessions feel calm and useful from the first visit.
She draws on five years of clinical experience in mental health and substance use settings. That background means she is familiar with common challenges like addiction, emotional ups and downs, and difficulties tied to family of origin.
Background and approach
Shannon supports people dealing with abandonment, attachment issues, blended family tensions, and communication problems. In sessions she uses a collaborative style that looks for strengths and builds skills. Conversations often focus on small, realistic steps people can try between meetings.
Practical tools for managing anxiety, improving communication, and handling guilt or shame are typical parts of the work. Shannon also addresses concerns around body image, codependency, control issues, and dependency patterns. She offers focused help for those coping with domestic violence histories, drug and alcohol struggles, and feelings of emptiness.
When clients want to include spiritual beliefs, she can integrate Christian faith and values into the process. Her goal is to help each person find clearer direction and workable strategies that fit their life and values.
Evidence-informed approaches and online care
Shannon uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and emotional awareness. One common approach involves cognitive tools to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts so anxiety and low mood become easier to manage. Another approach emphasizes emotion regulation and coping skills, helping people tolerate strong feelings and reduce impulsive reactions. When helpful, she can integrate motivation-focused conversations to support change in substance use or other patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Shannon treats the choice of techniques as a partnership, adjusting methods based on a person’s goals, values, and what proves useful in early sessions. She discusses options and helps people try different tools until a good fit emerges.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls let people have face-to-face conversation without travel, while phone sessions need less internet bandwidth and can fit a break at work. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, processing between sessions, or when typing feels easier than talking. These formats aim to make ongoing help more flexible and easier to fit into everyday life.
