About Shannon
Shannon Sartori is an LCSW with two decades of experience offering practical, down-to-earth support to adults. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, relationship strain, parenting challenges, and other life disruptions. Her manner is warm and relaxed, and she aims to make therapy straightforward and useful.
Shannon draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. She pairs that with a strengths-based mindset that highlights what already works in someone's life.
Background and approach
Sessions emphasize small, doable steps people can take between meetings. Her background includes work in youth and family centers, coordinating in-school therapy, managing Victims of Crime Act services, and collaborating with court and prison systems. She has also done assessment and referral for people with serious mental illness and has experience in independent practice.
Those roles shaped a practical approach to problem solving. Shannon supports a wide range of concerns such as trauma and abuse, addiction, grief, intimacy issues, eating and sleeping problems, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. She also pays attention to first responder issues, gender dysphoria, HIV/AIDS, and hoarding when relevant to the individual's goals.
Therapy with Shannon is conversational and goal-oriented. People can expect a mix of skills work and space to talk about what matters most. She welcomes questions and helps people figure out clear next steps for the changes they want to make.

How Shannon Uses CBT Online and What to Expect
Shannon uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice patterns of thinking that make stress and anxiety worse. CBT focuses on shifting thoughts and trying small behavior changes to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. This approach is often used for issues like anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and coping with life changes.She also brings a strengths-based, empowerment perspective that looks for practical resources a person already has. That approach aims to help people build on what works and set achievable goals together. Deciding which approach fits best is collaborative; the therapist and client choose methods based on needs, goals, and personal preference.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and full clinical work, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat works for shorter check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing brief contact and reminders. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy family schedule or during work breaks.
