About Shanell

Shanell Manson is a licensed social worker who centers her practice on practical, evidence-informed care tailored to each person's needs. With a decade of clinical experience in Ohio, she supports people navigating stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, and relationship and family conflicts.

Background and approach

She also addresses concerns such as ADHD, intimacy-related issues, parenting challenges, career stress, and compassion fatigue among other focused areas. Shanell approaches each client with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, shaping conversations and treatment plans to reflect individual circumstances and goals.

Her background includes work with a broad range of emotional and behavioral difficulties including mood disorders such as bipolar and disruptive mood dysregulation, as well as attachment, abandonment, codependency, and communication problems. She holds LISW and LISW-CP credentials and brings a steady, collaborative presence to the therapeutic process.

Clients who engage with Shanell can expect a tailored plan that emphasizes practical coping strategies, clearer communication, and thoughtful navigation of life transitions. She frames help as a partnership and offers support for those ready to take steps toward greater well-being in a way that honors their pace and priorities.

Evidence-informed approaches for online care

Two commonly used evidence-based techniques Shanell draws on are cognitive-based interventions and skills-focused coping strategies. Cognitive approaches help people identify and reframe unhelpful thought patterns that contribute to anxiety, depression, and stress, while skills-based work builds practical tools for emotion regulation, problem solving, and improved communication. These approaches are useful for challenges such as relationship conflict, mood disturbances, and managing ADHD-related difficulties.

Another useful element is a collaborative problem-solving focus that tailors interventions to the person’s daily life and goals. The therapist works together with clients to select methods that fit their priorities, adjusting pace and emphasis as progress unfolds so the treatment plan reflects what actually helps the individual move forward.

Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility when scheduling and lets people use formats that suit their comfort and routine. These remote options make it easier to maintain consistency across busy schedules, support gradual skill practice between sessions, and allow ongoing contact with licensed professionals from wherever the client is located within the therapist’s service area.
