About Shanell
Shanell Manson is a licensed independent social worker with 10 years of practice in Ohio. She focuses on everyday struggles like stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship strain. Shanell uses a respectful and compassionate approach to help people move toward more satisfying routines and connections.
She listens first and tailors conversations to each person's needs. That means practical steps and clear goals, not a one-size-fits-all plan. Shanell helps people handle grief, trauma and abuse, and care-related burnout with steady support and problem-solving skills.
Background and approach
Parenting concerns are a regular focus, and she helps parents manage parenting stress, fatherhood issues, and family conflict in everyday terms. She also addresses intimacy-related questions, communication problems, and control or codependency patterns that make relationships harder. Shanell works with mood-related challenges including bipolar disorder and disruptive mood dysregulation disorder, and she supports people dealing with ADHD, anger, shame, and self-esteem struggles.
Her work covers career strain, hoarding, and eating or food-related issues when those problems affect daily life. Clients can expect a collaborative relationship in which Shanell adapts the pace and tools to what helps most. She explains options clearly and prioritizes steps that fit a person’s life.
That makes therapy easier to stick with when responsibilities are busy. Her Ohio licensure is listed as LISW and LISW-CP. Sessions are offered in English and in formats that fit different schedules and needs.

How evidence-based approaches work online
Shanell uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One common approach involves breaking problems into manageable steps and building skills people can use day to day, such as emotion regulation and communication practice. This helps with anxiety, anger, and parenting stress by offering concrete tools to try between sessions.Another approach centers on understanding attachment and relational patterns. That work looks at how past experiences shape reactions now and helps people try different ways of relating. It is useful for intimacy issues, attachment concerns, codependency, and repairing family communication.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Shanell works collaboratively to choose methods that match a person's goals, needs, and comfort level. She adjusts pace and techniques as progress is made so therapy stays practical and relevant.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit busy lives. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and exercises, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat provides quick check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or school routines.
