About Greg
Greg Shannon is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with nine years of experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, addiction, depression, anger, and life transitions. He works with individuals who want to reduce distress, improve relationships, or boost performance in work and athletics. His manner is warm and straightforward to make it easier to talk about hard things.
Greg favors an empathetic, nonjudgmental style that focuses on each person's strengths. Sessions start by building trust and getting a clear picture of what's most important to the client.
Background and approach
From there he uses practical tools and small experiments to test what helps and what does not. Techniques he commonly uses include client-centered listening, cognitive behavioral strategies to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, motivational interviewing to strengthen commitment to change, and elements of dialectical behavior therapy for managing intense emotions. He also uses solution-focused methods for shorter-term goals and coaching work.
Accountability and regular feedback are part of his approach so progress can be measured and adjusted. He aims to teach skills that people can use on their own between sessions. That often means homework or simple practice tasks tailored to daily life.
Greg draws on experience from independent practice, rehabilitation settings, and inpatient work to understand a wide range of concerns. He offers direct, practical support and helps clients build sustainable habits for lasting change.

How Greg’s Approaches Work Online
Client-centered therapy centers on listening and reflecting what matters to the client. It helps people feel heard and guides the pace of work toward their own goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses practical exercises to change patterns that increase stress or anger. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches skills for tolerating strong emotions, improving distress tolerance, and managing intense reactions.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to try methods that fit their needs and goals. Plans are revisited and adjusted based on what works, so clients help shape the path forward rather than following a fixed program.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and preferences. Video calls are useful for full conversations and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing notes and quick encouragement between sessions. These options make it easier to keep consistency and practice skills in daily life.
