Shannon Sartori, LCSW

Shannon Sartori is an LCSW - Licensed Clinical Social Worker practicing in Oklahoma with about 20 years of experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, depression, anger, and other life challenges. Shannon also supports people facing issues like ADHD, grief, and first responder stress.

She has worked in a range of settings, including youth and family centers, in-school therapy coordination, Victims of Crime Act programs, court and prison systems, and private practice. That variety means she has experience with assessment, referral, and case coordination as well as one-on-one therapy.

Shannon draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy along with psychodynamic ideas and an empowerment approach. In sessions she helps people notice patterns in thoughts and behavior, try small practical experiments, and reflect on how past experiences shape current reactions. The emphasis is on finding strengths people already have and using those to handle problems more effectively.

Her work touches on many concerns beyond mood and anxiety, including addictions, intimacy-related issues, eating and sleeping problems, parenting stresses, career changes, gender dysphoria, HIV/AIDS, hoarding, and compassion fatigue. She also notes experience with serious mental illness assessment and referrals.

People who come because anger shows up as snapping, simmering resentment, or workplace frustration can expect straight talk about triggers and practical steps to reduce reactivity. Shannon aims to help people develop clearer choices and safer ways to express strong emotions.
