Shannon Flaherty Gibbons is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in California with 26 years of professional experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress and anxiety, improve self esteem and motivation, and address relationship and parenting concerns. Shannon aims to make the first steps toward change feel doable and supported.
She creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk about worries and tough feelings. Sessions are meant to be straightforward and practical, with attention to what feels most important to each person. Shannon listens for patterns that keep problems repeating and helps people try different ways of responding.
Her work draws on several therapeutic approaches, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. These methods are used to help with everyday struggles like communication problems, coping with life changes, and rebuilding confidence after losses or setbacks.
Shannon has supported people facing a wide range of challenges such as abandonment, caregiver stress, chronic illness, eating and food-related issues, and fertility or cancer-related stress. She pays attention to how past relationships affect present choices and feelings.
People who come to Shannon usually want clear conversation, practical tools, and steady support while they work toward greater well-being. She helps clients set realistic goals and try small changes that add up over time.
