About Shannon
Shannon Mick is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with 15 years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are dealing with anxiety, stress, depression, trauma, and life transitions. Her practice also addresses body image, eating and food-related issues, guilt and shame, and questions about life purpose.
Shannon blends a conservative therapeutic perspective with Christian values woven into how she meets clients. She focuses on helping people manage anxiety, build kinder self-talk, and find practical ways to cope when life feels overwhelming. Sessions tend to be straightforward and focused on concrete steps clients can try between meetings.
For trauma and post-traumatic stress she uses evidence-based techniques aimed at reducing symptoms and improving daily functioning. For body image and eating-related struggles she works on shifting unhelpful beliefs and improving self-regard in everyday situations. For guilt and shame the emphasis is on understanding the feeling, naming the story behind it, and developing more balanced responses.
Shannon describes her overall approach as respectful of personal faith and values while remaining goal-oriented. She supports people through life changes by helping them set realistic goals and test new behaviors. Her work includes practical coping skills, thought work, and behavioral experiments to track what helps.
Many clients come seeking clearer direction, less self-blame, or steadier mood management. To start, prospective clients complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session to see if the fit feels right.
How her approaches translate to online work
Shannon uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One approach emphasizes cognitive work - noticing and testing unhelpful thoughts and then trying new, more balanced ways of thinking. This helps with anxiety, self-criticism, and negative body image. Another approach centers on behavioral strategies - small experiments and routine changes to reduce avoidance and improve mood. That kind of work is useful for depression, social anxiety, and life transition challenges.Finding the right combination of methods is part of the process. She will collaborate with each client to choose techniques that match their goals, values, and what feels workable. Clients and Shannon review progress and adjust methods as needed rather than sticking to one fixed plan.
Confirm current session options before booking to know which formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten commutes, and allow quick check-ins when life gets hectic. It also lets clients use sessions to practice skills in their everyday routines and to bring concrete examples from recent days into the conversation.
