About Shannon

Shannon Gutwein is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) practicing in Wyoming with 14 years of experience supporting people through complex emotional and behavioral concerns.

Background and approach

She focuses on issues such as depression, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy difficulties, grief, anger, and ADHD, using a blend of evidence-based methods to tailor care to each person. Her style is warm, client-centered, and pragmatic, emphasizing collaboration and respect for each individual's pace and priorities.

Shannon helps clients identify unhelpful patterns, build coping skills for stress and life changes, and address problems that affect daily functioning at work and in relationships. She also integrates coaching strategies when clients seek concrete direction around career and life goals.

Shannon adapts techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and narrative approaches to meet varied needs. This flexible, strengths-focused stance is intended to foster resilience, clearer communication, and practical strategies for managing emotion and behavior.

Prospective clients in Wyoming who want an approachable clinician with clinical experience and a collaborative orientation may find a supportive fit.

Approaches that guide online work and accessible care



Shannon often integrates cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and develop specific skills for managing mood, anxiety, and stress. She also draws from dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) to teach emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness for clients facing intense emotions or relationship challenges. Each approach is explained in straightforward terms and applied with practical exercises suited to an individual's situation.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Shannon collaborates with clients to determine which methods fit their goals, values, and preferences. Treatment plans are adjusted over time based on what is working, with the clinician and client deciding together how to combine talk-based exploration with skills practice and coaching when appropriate.

Online formats used include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which offer flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it possible to attend sessions from home or work and to choose a communication style that feels manageable, helping clients maintain momentum in between meetings.
