About Shannon

Shannon Caraway is an LCSW who works with adults and children across a wide range of concerns, including ADHD, anxiety, depression, grief, parenting challenges, and life transitions.

Background and approach

He draws on a background that began in education and shifted into mental health, bringing a practical, person-centered perspective to therapeutic work. With three years of clinical therapy experience, Shannon emphasizes clear strategies that clients can use between sessions to manage stress and build coping skills.

Before becoming a clinician, Shannon spent 18 years in education and then gained hands-on experience as a case manager and admissions coordinator. He completed a master’s degree in social work and has practiced in inpatient geriatric and adult psychiatric settings as well as outpatient clinics, day treatment programs, and school-based services.

Shannon has worked with clients ranging in age from 3 to 99, and he values adapting interventions to meet varied developmental needs while keeping sessions focused and solution-oriented.

Practical approaches for online therapy and skill-building

Shannon commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which helps people identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns through structured exercises and practical homework. CBT is often useful for anxiety, depression, stress management, and developing new coping strategies.

He also incorporates Solution-Focused Therapy, a brief, goal-oriented approach that concentrates on clients' strengths and small, achievable changes. This method is helpful for people who want to create clear, short-term goals and build momentum toward desired outcomes.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Shannon works with each person to understand their needs, preferences, and goals, and then tailors techniques so they fit the client's life and priorities. Clients and therapist review progress and adjust strategies as needed.

Online therapy with Shannon is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, giving flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access support from home, and use therapy in ways that suit everyday routines.
