About Greg
Greg Shannon is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) with nine years of experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, and major life changes. He works with clients who are coping with grief, trauma, parenting concerns, relationship strain, and career or performance goals. His tone is straightforward and supportive, aimed at parents and adults looking for clear help.
He draws on practical, strength-based methods to create a warm and nonjudgmental space. Sessions focus on understanding what’s happening now and finding concrete steps to feel better. Accountability and regular feedback are part of how progress gets tracked.
Greg uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to help people change unhelpful patterns. Motivational interviewing is used to build readiness for change, and solution-focused techniques keep work brief and goal-driven. These approaches are tailored to each person rather than applied the same way to everyone.
His background includes work in private practice, rehabilitation settings, and psychiatric units, which informs a practical approach to problems that range from everyday stress to chronic mental health struggles. He also supports people who want performance coaching in areas like athletics, career, and personal growth.
Seeking help can feel scary, and he emphasizes partnership in the work. The therapist aims to listen first, reduce judgment, and help clients try small changes that build toward larger shifts.
How his approaches translate to online work
Greg commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to help people notice patterns and build new coping skills. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce anxiety and depression. Dialectical behavior therapy emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving interpersonal skills, which can help with relationship strain, intense emotions, and self-directed behaviors.He also uses motivational interviewing to help people find their own reasons to change and to build momentum for steps forward. Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. He collaborates with each person to pick methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences rather than applying a single technique to every problem.
The practical benefits of online therapy can include easier scheduling, fitting sessions around work or school, and shorter check-ins when time is tight. Because session formats are not listed in the original profile, confirm the exact options available before booking. The focus remains on making therapy fit into daily life while using clear tools and regular feedback to measure progress.
