About Shannon
Shannon Nelson is a California-licensed therapist who supports people facing stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, depression, and ADHD. She writes plainly and listens first, helping clients find practical steps when emotions feel overwhelming. Shannon draws on attachment-based ideas to understand how early relationships shape current worries and patterns.
She also uses client-centered care to keep conversations grounded in each person’s goals. Sessions focus on building strengths, improving communication, and making small changes that add up.
Background and approach
Her clinical work includes approaches from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to address day-to-day coping, mood, and impulsivity. Narrative therapy is used to help reframe painful stories and notice personal resources. The result is a mix of short-term tools and deeper reflection, based on what the person needs.
Shannon’s three years of professional experience includes supporting students and young people in school settings. That work involved helping people with ADHD, autism spectrum differences, anxiety, and depression find strategies that fit their life and learning environment. In sessions she treats clients with respect and assumes people know their own story best.
Shannon helps set clear, realistic goals and practices skills together in ways that can be used outside the session. She offers work that is steady, practical, and rooted in real-life needs.

Online support
How Shannon's approaches work online
Shannon commonly draws on attachment-based ideas and cognitive behavioral techniques. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationship patterns affect current feelings and behavior, which can help when trust, abandonment worries, or repeated communication problems come up. Cognitive behavioral work focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and practicing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and improve daily routines.She frames treatment as a collaborative process. Together the therapist and client review concerns, set goals, and try approaches that fit the person’s needs and preferences. If a method isn’t helping, they adjust the plan and focus on what produces real, usable change in daily life.
Online formats available include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let people use body language and have deeper conversations, while phone sessions use less bandwidth and can work well during a break at work. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for short check-ins, practicing skills between sessions, or when writing feels easier than talking. These options make it practical to keep therapy consistent despite busy schedules or distance from a therapist.
