About Shantel

Shantel Farrow is an LMFT - Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist practicing in Oklahoma with eight years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, addictions, and anger among other issues. Sessions are conducted in English and she accepts international clients.

Shantel focuses on practical steps people can take to manage upsetting feelings and recurring patterns. She uses client-centered and attachment-informed methods to help people notice how past relationships shape current reactions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy tools are used to spot unhelpful thinking and try different behaviors.

Her work often helps people who feel stuck after life changes, those managing grief or caregiver stress, and people dealing with body image or intimacy concerns. She also addresses struggles linked to ADHD, bipolar disorder, chronic illness, and addiction, adapting the conversation to everyday problems.

Shantel includes EMDR when trauma memories are a central issue, alongside existential questions about meaning and choice when needed. She describes therapy as collaborative - setting clear goals and testing approaches that fit a person’s life.

Practical matters are part of the plan. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the See online therapy options button.

How sessions work

How her methods translate to online work

Shantel commonly draws on Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her practice. Attachment-based work looks at how past relationships shape current reactions and helps people change interaction patterns. Client-centered approaches focus on the person’s priorities and pace, letting the conversation guide what to address next. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy teaches concrete skills to identify unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors to reduce intense emotions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Shantel and the client will discuss goals, try methods, and adjust based on what helps. That collaborative process means practical tools and deeper processing can be mixed depending on the issue.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example, sessions can be scheduled around work breaks or caregiving duties, and shorter check-ins can be arranged when time is tight. Many people find that learning CBT skills, working through attachment patterns, or using EMDR techniques can be done effectively in remote sessions when both therapist and client agree on the plan.
