About Shannon

Dr. Shannon Holliker brings a client-centered, evidence-informed approach to therapy, blending attachment-focused thinking with cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness to support emotional regulation and practical problem solving.

Background and approach

She frames therapy as a collaborative exploration, helping people clarify goals, track progress, and celebrate small wins while addressing stress, anxiety, ADHD, trauma, relationship concerns, and career or parenting challenges. Dr.

Holliker emphasizes honest dialogue and normalizes difficult feelings as part of adapting to life’s cumulative stressors. Holding a Florida LCSW and with twelve years of clinical practice, Dr.

Holliker also has advanced academic preparation including a PhD in Public Affairs with a social work focus and master’s degrees in social work and child development and education. That combination of clinical and academic experience informs her work with families affected by medical or developmental concerns, parenting-related stress, grief, burnout, addictions, and other areas listed in her specialties.

She aims to match interventions to each person’s needs, whether the focus is short-term skills or longer-term growth, and to create measurable goals that guide therapy forward.

Using attachment and cognitive approaches in online care

Dr. Holliker draws on attachment-based work to explore how early and current relationships shape emotional responses, helping clients understand patterns in relationships and parenting dynamics. She also incorporates cognitive behavioral therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and develop concrete strategies for managing anxiety, ADHD-related challenges, and stress in daily life. These approaches aim to combine insight with practical tools for coping and behavior change.

Finding the right approach is presented as a collaborative process. The therapist works with clients to assess needs, preferences, and goals so that interventions are tailored and adjusted over time. Together they set measurable objectives and review progress, allowing the therapeutic plan to evolve as issues shift or improve.

Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, continue care during transitions, and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable, while licensed professionals guide treatment using the methods described above.
