About Shannon
Shannon Mannino is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with eight years of clinical experience. She works with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, self-esteem struggles, depression, and ADHD. She also focuses on guilt and shame alongside issues like communication problems and loneliness.
Shannon uses clear, practical methods. She draws on cognitive behavioral approaches to identify unhelpful thoughts and on mindfulness practices to reduce reactivity. She also uses elements of solution-focused counseling to set small, manageable goals and positive psychology to strengthen what is already working.
Sessions tend to be collaborative and goal-oriented. Shannon helps people develop coping strategies for panic, impulsivity, or work-related strain. She also addresses self-harm thoughts and social anxiety with concrete skills and stepwise plans.
Faith-informed techniques are offered when clients want them. Shannon will discuss how faith resources might fit into therapy rather than assuming they should be used. This is one piece of a broader toolkit she brings to sessions.
People who contact her can expect straightforward guidance about next steps. She asks about current struggles and what a better week would look like. Then she and the client choose practical steps to try between sessions and review progress over time.
How evidence-based methods translate to online sessions
Shannon often integrates cognitive behavioral techniques to help identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns. CBT involves tracking thoughts, testing them against evidence, and practicing alternative ways of responding; it is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and shame-related thinking.Mindfulness-based stress reduction practices are another common element. These teach attention and breathing exercises to reduce reactivity and improve tolerance for difficult feelings, which can help with panic, impulsivity, and persistent self-criticism.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Shannon collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences, then adjusts the plan as needed based on what helps most.
