About Shantel
Shantel Farrow is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) based in Oklahoma. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, grief, and parenting concerns. Her style is direct and compassionate, aimed at helping people feel steadier and more able to make changes in daily life.
Shantel uses practical, easy-to-understand methods. She draws from attachment-focused work to look at how past relationships shape current patterns.
Background and approach
She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. Her practice also includes trauma-focused tools such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, and a client-centered stance that keeps the person's goals central. Sessions blend problem-solving with space to process painful memories and strong emotions.
This mix is useful for those facing abuse recovery, addiction challenges, or the aftereffects of loss. Shantel pays attention to life context. She helps people manage work stress, caregiver strain, body image and eating concerns, and changes that come with major life events.
She also supports clients dealing with attachment issues, blended family dynamics, and parenting questions. With eight years of experience, she aims to make therapy understandable and usable. People can expect clear steps, collaborative planning, and attention to strengths as they work toward steadier relationships and better daily coping.

How her approaches translate to online therapy
Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns. Online sessions can use this approach to map connection and distance in present relationships and try new ways of relating. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people notice thought patterns and test out different actions. In an online session CBT often includes homework, thought records, and step-by-step behavior experiments that clients can try between meetings.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, and then adjust methods as therapy unfolds. That way the plan matches the client's needs rather than fitting a single technique.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls are helpful for full conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a work break. Live chat and text messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, ongoing coaching, or when someone prefers writing to talking. These options give flexibility for different schedules, attention spans, and technical setups, while keeping the focus on practical change and emotional processing.
