About Shan
Shan Croft is a Georgia-licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) with nine years of experience. She helps people facing depression, anxiety, relationship strain, stress, and anger. Shan works with adults who want practical ways to change thoughts and behaviors that get in the way of daily life.
Her sessions are collaborative and direct. She listens closely and then helps clients reframe unhelpful thinking. Shan uses clear, goal-oriented methods so people leave with tools they can use right away.
Background and approach
Shan blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral techniques and solution-focused strategies. That means conversations focus on what matters most to the client and on steps to move forward. She also uses motivational interviewing and narrative therapy when they fit the person’s goals.
Typical concerns addressed include grief, addictions, self-esteem, career questions, coping with life changes, and intimacy-related issues. Additional focus areas include attachment and abandonment concerns, codependency, communication problems, and multicultural issues such as prejudice and discrimination. Sessions can be 30 or 45 minutes, and Shan is flexible if a shorter check-in is needed.
People who prefer straightforward, respectful guidance and hands-on techniques tend to find her approach helpful. If someone is ready to start, Shan supports each person in taking practical next steps.

Online approaches that focus on change
Shan commonly uses client-centered work and cognitive behavioral techniques in online sessions. Client-centered therapy centers conversations on the person’s experience, helping them feel heard and guiding them to their own solutions. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect, and teaches practical skills for changing unhelpful patterns.She also draws on motivational interviewing when people need help finding internal motivation and making lasting changes. These approaches are explained in plain language and chosen based on the issue at hand. Shan treats finding the right approach as a team effort and will discuss options during early sessions to match methods to each person’s goals.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls let people use face-to-face interaction when it helps build rapport. Phone sessions work well when video would be difficult or bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins, quick skill practice, or when someone prefers not to be on camera. These options make it easier to fit work on coping, anger, relationships, and other concerns into a busy week.
