About Shannon
Shannon Sartori is an LCSW with two decades of experience offering practical, down-to-earth therapy. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, anger, depression, and relationship concerns. Her style is warm and relaxed, and she aims to help clients find and use their strengths in day-to-day life.
Shannon has worked across many settings including youth and family centers, in-school therapy coordination, and roles supporting victims of crime. She has experience with court and prison systems and has handled assessment and referral for serious mental illness.
Background and approach
She has also provided independent practice services in Oklahoma. In sessions she uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, helping people notice thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and try small, practical changes. She combines that with a supportive, empowerment-focused stance to build on what each person already does well.
Sessions are straightforward and goal-oriented while staying human and respectful. Shannon has particular experience addressing issues like addiction, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related challenges, sleep and eating problems, ADHD, bipolar concerns, and career stress. She also works with first responder issues, gender dysphoria, people living with HIV or AIDS, and hoarding-related problems.
People meet her to work on coping with life changes, improving self-esteem, managing compassion fatigue, and navigating parenting challenges. She keeps language simple and focuses on small steps clients can try between sessions.

CBT and practical approaches for online care
Shannon uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people notice thought patterns and behaviors that reinforce problems. CBT involves identifying unhelpful thoughts, testing them, and practicing different responses to reduce symptoms like anxiety, anger, or low mood.Her work emphasizes building on existing strengths and trying small, doable changes between sessions. She takes a collaborative approach and will help each person choose which techniques fit their goals and daily life. Together they set priorities and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions are available as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video is useful for a more traditional face-to-face feel. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Chat and messaging support ongoing check-ins and written exercises between appointments. These formats make scheduling easier and help people fit therapy into busy lives.
