About Greg
Greg Shannon is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) with nine years of experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, addiction, depression, and parenting challenges. He focuses on practical, down-to-earth support so parents and individuals can make small changes that add up to real relief. Greg aims to create an easygoing space where people can talk honestly without feeling judged.
He has worked across settings from independent practice to residential rehab and psychiatric units.
Background and approach
That variety has shaped a flexible approach that fits different needs, whether someone needs short-term coaching or ongoing therapy for chronic issues. Greg combines straightforward skills training with encouragement and gentle accountability. Sessions tend to focus on clear goals and hands-on tools.
He uses methods drawn from client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior strategies, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused methods. These tools are adapted to each person rather than applied the same way to everyone. Greg also supports people aiming to improve performance in areas like work, athletics, and personal growth.
Those sessions emphasize building strengths, tracking progress, and adjusting plans when something isn’t working. The tone is collaborative and practical. Parents often come for help with stress, relationship strain, or balancing responsibilities.
Greg helps people sort priorities, practice new ways of responding, and set achievable steps forward. He encourages ongoing feedback so changes can be measured and honed over time.

How Greg Uses Evidence-Based Methods Online
Greg often draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and parenting stress. He also uses dialectical behavior therapy skills to teach emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and relationship effectiveness for people who struggle with intense emotions. Client-centered techniques form the foundation of sessions, emphasizing listening, empathy, and collaboration to shape goals that matter to the client.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Greg will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and then try practical tools to see what fits. That collaborative stance means methods can change over time as a client’s situation evolves and progress is tracked.
Online options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets you work face to face when visual cues matter. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text messaging are useful for quick updates, coaching-style support, or fitting therapy into a busy day. These formats make it easier to schedule sessions around work, childcare, and other demands.
