About Shannon
Shannon Denny is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in California with 35 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, family conflict, grief, and self-esteem concerns. Shannon also focuses on communication problems, divorce and separation, forgiveness, guilt and shame, and self-love.
Shannon uses straightforward conversation to help people name what feels heavy. She pays attention to how relationships with others and with oneself affect everyday choices. Sessions often include talking through difficult memories, clarifying values, and practicing different ways of communicating.
Faith can be part of the work when clients want that. Shannon integrates Christian perspectives for those who find their beliefs important to healing. She helps clients consider how faith and values fit with feelings of guilt or the need for forgiveness.
Her style is direct and respectful. She helps clients break big problems into smaller steps and tests practical changes between sessions. This can include new communication habits, ways to manage urges linked to addiction, or steps toward rebuilding self-respect.
Shannon has decades of experience supporting people through endings and new beginnings. She asks clear questions, listens for patterns, and helps plan manageable next steps. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the platform.
Approach and online sessions
Shannon draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on behavior change and relationship patterns. One common approach helps identify unhelpful thinking and then tests different behaviors to see what improves daily life; this can help with anxiety, shame, and problems that repeat in relationships. Another approach looks at how family roles and interaction patterns keep problems going, and it focuses on changing how people communicate and set boundaries to reduce conflict.Choosing a therapeutic method is a collaborative process. Shannon works with clients to pick approaches that match their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they track what helps and adjust the plan if needed until the work fits the person's life.

Online work makes it easier to try tools between sessions and bring real situations into the conversation without rearranging a full day.
