About Shannon

Shannon Wilson is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) with 25 years of experience offering steady, practical help for people feeling overwhelmed. She focuses on common concerns like stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, and low self-esteem. Shannon keeps language simple and sessions straightforward so people can focus on what matters next.

Her work centers on attachment-based ideas and client-centered care. That means she pays attention to how early and current relationships shape feelings and reactions, and she follows each person’s pace in session.

Background and approach

She also uses techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to build coping skills and manage strong emotions. Shannon helps people unpack difficult experiences such as sexual assault, post-traumatic stress, and patterns like codependency or obsessive thinking.

She also supports those dealing with mood disorders, panic, guilt and shame, and the emptiness that can follow life changes or blended family dynamics. Therapy with her combines reflection and practical work. Sessions include talking through painful memories, noticing unhelpful thoughts, and practicing new ways to respond.

The aim is clearer self-understanding and useful tools to handle day-to-day challenges. She offers services to people in Michigan and conducts sessions in English. Her approach is collaborative: she listens first, then helps build a plan that fits each person's goals and life situation.

Online support

How attachment work and skills fit into online therapy

Attachment-based work focuses on how relationships shape feelings and behavior. In online sessions Shannon helps people notice patterns formed in close relationships and tries to shift those patterns through discussion and new ways of relating. Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and following the person's pace; sessions are guided by what the client finds most important and what feels most helpful in the moment.

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thought patterns and the actions that follow. During online work Shannon uses CBT strategies to spot negative thoughts, test them, and practice small behavioral changes that reduce anxiety or depressive symptoms. These approaches suit issues such as anxiety, depression, panic, and repetitive worries linked to OCD or trauma responses.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Shannon collaborates with each person to decide which methods to use and adjusts plans as needs and goals change. Clients are invited to give feedback so sessions stay relevant and practical.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and exercises that benefit from reading expressions. Phone work can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging allow brief updates, homework review, or emotional support between longer sessions. These options help fit therapy into a busy life and support steady progress.
