About Shannon
Shannon Denny is an LMFT with 35 years of experience helping people through major life changes. She focuses on stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, and family concerns. She also helps with self-esteem, communication problems, divorce and separation, and issues of guilt, shame, forgiveness, and self-love.
Shannon centers work around compassion and respect for each person's path. She creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can talk about hard moments and figure out what matters most to them. When faith is important, she weaves Christian perspectives into sessions to reflect clients' values and beliefs.
Her approach looks at how people relate to themselves and to others. Sessions often involve talking through patterns, practicing clearer communication, and finding small, practical steps to reduce stress. She helps people name what they want to change and supports them in trying new ways of coping.
Shannon draws on long experience to meet a wide range of concerns. That experience shapes a steady, patient style that values honesty and real goals. She aims to help people move toward greater calm, clearer relationships, and stronger self-respect.
People who choose her can expect direct conversation, gentle challenge, and attention to personal values. She offers guidance while inviting clients to shape the work. The focus is on practical progress and on rebuilding a sense of wholeness after difficult events.
Evidence-based techniques and online therapy options
Shannon uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on relationships and everyday coping. One common approach she draws on helps people notice how patterns of thinking and behavior keep stress and anxiety active, then offers practical ways to test new responses that reduce distress and improve functioning. Another approach emphasizes improving communication skills so people can express needs, set boundaries, and repair relationship strain, which is often useful during divorce or family conflict.Finding the right approach happens together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, values, and preferences and then suggest techniques to try. That way the work is shaped by what fits a client's life and what feels most helpful in sessions.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the specific session formats before booking since the biography does not list them. Many people appreciate remote care because it can save travel time, make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, communication practice, and grief work to an online setting so progress continues without needing to change daily routines.
