About Shannon
Shannon Rosenbauer is a licensed clinician in Maryland who blends practical talk with steady support. She holds an MD and is a Licensed Certified Social Worker-Clinical, and she brings 12 years of experience to sessions. Shannon aims to make the first steps feel manageable for people under stress.
She speaks English and uses straightforward language to help clients feel heard. Shannon uses person-centered care to make room for each client's story.
Background and approach
She listens first, then works with clients to set clear, doable goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques are used to spot unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior changes that can ease anxiety, anger, or low mood. Mindfulness practices are offered to reduce overwhelm and increase calm in daily life.
Motivational Interviewing helps when someone wants to change habits or tackle addictions by building their own reasons to act. Psychodynamic ideas may be drawn on to understand recurring patterns and where they began. She has worked with people facing grief, chronic illness such as cancer or diabetes, stress, compassion fatigue, and relationship or family concerns.
Anger, depression, ADHD, and career worries are also among her focus areas. Sessions aim to be practical and respectful, with an emphasis on what a person wants to accomplish. Shannon encourages small, steady steps and collaborative planning.
She helps people build skills they can use between meetings, whether that means new coping tools, clearer boundaries, or short-term coaching toward a concrete goal.

How therapeutic styles translate to online care
Shannon commonly blends client-centered work with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness practices. Client-centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and responding to what the person brings, which helps clients feel understood and shape goals that matter to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and offers simple exercises to test new behaviors and reduce anxiety or anger. Mindfulness Therapy teaches short attention and breathing practices to reduce overwhelm and improve concentration in daily life.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Shannon will collaborate with each person to identify which methods fit their goals and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress is made. This collaborative process helps tailor sessions to issues like grief, chronic illness, stress, or habit change.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversation and more visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, short coaching moments, or when writing feels more comfortable. These options aim to make regular sessions more flexible and easier to fit into a busy life.
