About Shannon
Shannon Gooch is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) working in Texas with ten years of experience. She sees adults who are carrying heavy feelings such as depression, grief, trauma, guilt and shame, or trouble in relationships and parenting. Shannon also addresses concerns like self-esteem, anger, career stress, and bipolar challenges.
Shannon draws on a Master’s degree in Professional Counseling and a Bachelor’s in Psychology. Her background includes work with adults, adolescents, at-risk youth, and family situations. She writes from the perspective of a wife and mother and brings that practical viewpoint into sessions.
Her practice focuses on helping people notice the thoughts and patterns that keep them stuck. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to look at thinking and behavior, and Solution-Focused Therapy to plan small steps that make daily life easier. Trauma-focused work is part of her approach when past hurt continues to affect present choices.
In sessions she listens for concrete problems and offers tools people can try right away. That might mean learning ways to manage strong feelings, improving communication, or setting limits at work or home. She also helps people who are figuring out forgiveness, abandonment, or changes after separation.
Shannon aims for straightforward, collaborative work rather than long technical explanations. She helps clients build skills for emotional regulation and problem-solving. People who want practical techniques and clear, step-by-step guidance often choose her approach.
How her approaches translate to online work
Shannon uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients notice thinking patterns and try new behaviors; this approach is useful for depression, anxiety, and some kinds of guilt. She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to set short-term goals and track small, practical changes that make daily life more manageable. When past trauma affects current relationships, trauma-focused work helps identify triggers and build coping strategies. Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about what feels most useful and adapt techniques based on goals and preferences. That collaborative decision-making helps shape a plan that can be used in regular sessions. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or avoid travel time. These practical benefits can help clients practice new skills between meetings and apply them to real-life situations.Areas of expertise
