About Shannon

Shannon Talley is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Virginia with eight years of clinical experience. She helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, grief, and difficult life changes. She also supports those facing addiction, intimacy issues, parenting strain, low self-esteem, career concerns, and identity-related challenges such as gender dysphoria and LGBT-related stress.

Shannon starts by listening to each person’s story and recognizing their strengths. She believes people are the experts on their own lives and works alongside them to set realistic goals.

Background and approach

Sessions can be more direct for people who want action and change, or more gradual for those who need time to process feelings. Her practice draws on attachment-based ideas and client-centered care, meaning she pays attention to how relationships shape patterns and offers warm, respectful support.

She also integrates cognitive behavioral tools and mindfulness exercises to help with unhelpful thoughts and strong emotions. Motivational interviewing and existential questions can be used when exploring values and life direction. In sessions Shannon may encourage gentle challenges to build confidence, or provide a calm space to name fears and grief.

She tailors the pace to each person’s needs and comfort level. Her goal is to help people move toward more satisfying, manageable days. Shannon provides services in English and practices across a range of mood and behavioral concerns, including seasonal affective disorder, hoarding, intellectual disability considerations, hospice and end-of-life counseling, and compassion fatigue.

Online support

How attachment, client-centered, and CBT work online

Shannon often uses attachment-based ideas to notice how early and current relationships shape feelings and behavior. That perspective helps when patterns of trust or worry repeat in close relationships, and it guides conversations about safety and connection.

She also practices client-centered therapy, which means sessions focus on the person in front of her. That approach involves active listening, reflection, and working at the client’s pace so people feel heard while they name goals or process emotions.

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is another tool she brings into online work. CBT helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of thinking and acting, which can reduce anxiety and low mood over time.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Shannon will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. She may start with listening and then add practical skills or deeper relational work as trust develops.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit into busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions use less bandwidth, live chat can be a shorter check-in, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to schedule appointments, follow up after sessions, and keep therapy consistent when life gets busy.
