About Shana

Shana Grady is a licensed clinical psychologist practicing in Virginia who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, life transitions, and ADHD.

Background and approach

With a VA Psychologist credential (0810004407) and 11 years of clinical experience, she draws on a long career in behavioral health to support practical, real-world change. She emphasizes building a collaborative therapeutic relationship where clients can explore thoughts and emotions without judgment.

Shana creates a space aimed at fostering clarity and resilience, working alongside clients to identify patterns, develop coping skills, and increase confidence. Her approach prioritizes listening and understanding while helping clients set achievable goals and try strategies that fit their daily lives.

She recognizes that beginning therapy is often a brave decision and seeks to make that first step feel respected and supported.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Access

Shana uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and understanding emotional patterns. One common approach helps clients learn concrete coping strategies for anxiety and panic, teaching breathing, grounding, and thought-challenging skills to reduce the intensity of symptoms. Another approach targets mood and motivation by breaking goals into manageable steps and addressing self-critical thinking to strengthen self-esteem and daily functioning.

Finding the right approach is part of the work; Shana collaborates with clients to select or adapt techniques that match each person’s needs, goals, and preferences. She treats the process as a partnership, adjusting methods over time based on what is helpful and what feels comfortable for the client.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which allow for flexibility in scheduling and the ability to connect from different locations. These formats can make it easier to maintain consistency in care, access support between sessions, and use methods that fit a client’s routine and communication style.
