About Shannan
Shannan Katz is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor who helps people who are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or alone. She provides a calm, listening presence and offers straightforward guidance so clients can make practical changes. Her style can be gentle and heart-centered or more direct when structured feedback is needed.
She focuses on everyday struggles such as stress, anxiety, anger, depression, and relationship or intimacy concerns.
Background and approach
She also supports people managing grief, addictions, sleep and eating issues, parenting strain, career transitions, and major life changes. Shannan welcomes conversations about sexuality and serves members of the LGBTQIA community. Her work blends client-centered conversation with goal-oriented tools.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques are used to spot unhelpful thinking and build coping skills. Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Therapy help clients set doable goals and take the next steps toward them. Shannan has eleven years of experience and holds a Master of Arts degree along with the MA LMHC and OH LPCC credentials.
She typically meets first by video and then shifts mostly to phone sessions, though other online formats are offered. She is based in Ohio. She asks people to come as they are and speak openly about what they want to change.
Shannan explains upfront whether her style fits a client’s needs and will offer referrals if a different level of care is needed. Her aim is to help clients build practical strategies they can use between sessions.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy is about listening and following the client’s lead. It helps people feel heard, name what matters, and build goals that fit their life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying new behaviors to reduce distress and improve mood, which can be useful for anxiety, anger, and sleep problems.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they pick strategies and adjust them as progress is made so the plan stays useful and realistic.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how people connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions are often used for regular follow-ups or when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging can serve for brief check-ins or to document steps between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and continue care despite life’s changes.
