About Shannon
Shannon Kaufman is an Ohio Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) with 14 years of experience. She helps people who are managing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, and anger. Her work also addresses relationship struggles, parenting concerns, grief, and identity questions related to LGBT issues.
Shannon keeps sessions straightforward and conversation-based. She listens to what matters most and helps clients name the patterns that cause frustration or repeated conflict. Practical tools and clear goals are part of how she works. Clients can expect direct feedback and guided practice rather than long abstract explanations.
Her approach draws from Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), among other methods. That mix lets her combine skills training, thought work, and focused discussion about past hurts. Trauma-Focused Therapy and Motivational Interviewing also inform how she supports people who are ready to change addictive behaviors or process painful events.
Typical sessions address everyday problems that build up into bigger strain. That includes work stress, simmering resentment at home, trouble with intimacy, and difficulties concentrating that may relate to ADHD or mood concerns. She also helps people navigate career setbacks and issues tied to adoption, attachment, or caregiving stress.
Shannon practices in Ohio and conducts sessions in English. The site uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session using the See online therapy options button.
How sessions work
How her approaches shape online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and clear reflection. It helps people feel heard and figure out what matters most in sessions, which can be useful when anger or resentment feels overwhelming.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks down unhelpful thoughts and behaviors into small parts. It teaches straightforward techniques for managing anger, reducing anxiety, and changing patterns that cause repeated conflict.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, adds skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance. Those skills support people who need short-term strategies to respond differently in heated moments.
Choosing the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Shannon will collaborate with each person to identify goals, try methods, and adjust plans based on how sessions feel and what helps most.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. They also let therapists use worksheets, skills practice, and homework in between meetings to keep progress moving.
