About Shannon
Shannon Gollner is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 19 years of professional experience. She is licensed in Kentucky and also holds licensure in Alaska. She works with common concerns such as stress, anxiety, grief, anger, self-esteem, and depression.
Shannon emphasizes that clients know their own stories and strengths. She helps people use those strengths to tackle problems that feel stuck or overwhelming. Sessions are practical and focused on skills the person can apply between meetings.
Her approach uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address problems like persistent anger, low motivation, or repeated cycles of shame and guilt. She supports people sorting through relationship issues such as attachment concerns, blended family stress, infidelity, and non-monogamous relationship dynamics. She also works with mood disorders, obsessive patterns, and caregiver strain.
Shannon draws on nearly two decades of experience across community and clinical settings. She aims to help people recognize patterns that keep them reactive and to develop more effective ways of responding. Work may include building emotional awareness, practical coping strategies, and clearer communication skills.
Sessions are conducted in English and she does not accept international clients. Cost varies with location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To start, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the online options button.
How sessions work
Approaches for managing anger and mood online
Shannon uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques aimed at real-world change. One common approach focuses on building emotional awareness and identifying triggers. This helps people notice early signs of anger and choose different responses instead of reacting automatically. Another technique centers on practical coping skills such as breathing, grounding, and short behavioral experiments. These tools are intended to reduce intense reactions in the moment and to make it easier to return to constructive conversation afterward. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Shannon will collaborate with each person to test what fits their needs and goals. She helps clients compare options and adjusts methods based on what is helpful in practice. Confirm the current session options before booking, since formats are not listed in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example, by removing commute time or allowing a shorter check-in during a break from work. If a person prefers fewer distractions, phone sessions may use less bandwidth and let them focus on voice alone. Discussing practical scheduling needs happens during the intake and helps shape how sessions are arranged.Areas of focus
