Shannon Davis is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who uses practical, goal-focused methods to help people change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She draws on a background in humanities and a master’s in counseling to guide people through relationship strain, stress, anxiety, grief, and self-esteem concerns. Shannon aims to create a calm, nonjudgmental space where clients can speak honestly about what’s hard.
Her main approach is cognitive behavioral therapy, a hands-on method that looks at the links between thinking, behavior, and feeling. She pairs that with mindfulness and solution-focused ideas to help people build skills they can use between sessions. Shannon also uses motivational interviewing and trauma-focused work when those fit the situation.
Shannon offers an initial consultation to clarify goals and outline a practical plan. Early sessions focus on understanding the main problems and setting achievable steps. She explains what therapy will involve and checks that the plan matches each person’s needs.
Over five years of clinical work, Shannon has supported people facing family problems, parenting strain, adoption and foster care concerns, and challenges like abandonment, codependency, and body image. She also assists those coping with career shifts, ADHD, and the emotional impact of illness such as HIV/AIDS.
People who choose her practice can expect a straightforward, collaborative process. Shannon encourages small, measurable changes and helps clients practice new ways of coping between sessions.
How evidence-based methods translate to online work
Shannon uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people identify and shift thinking patterns that fuel anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem. CBT focuses on practical exercises and homework that can be reviewed between sessions to track progress. Mindfulness therapy is used alongside CBT to build present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity, which can help with stress, anger, and emotional regulation. Motivational interviewing supports readiness for change by drawing out a person’s own reasons for wanting to try new behaviors and goals.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Shannon will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. She adjusts strategies based on what works and what feels manageable for the client.
Confirm the session formats before booking so you know how therapy will be delivered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a workday, reduce time spent traveling, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes it simpler to keep consistent appointments while juggling parenting, work, or medical commitments. Ask about the specific formats offered to pick the setup that best fits everyday life.
