About Shannon

Shannon Kaufman is an Ohio-licensed mental health professional with 14 years of clinical experience who brings a steady, client-focused approach to therapy.

Background and approach

As an LPCC she has supported people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, and a broad range of relational and identity concerns including LGBT matters, intimacy issues, grief, and career-related challenges. Her background also includes work with mood disorders such as bipolar and depression, compassion fatigue, and attention-related concerns like ADHD.

Shannon emphasizes creating an open, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore difficult thoughts and feelings and pursue practical change. She draws on evidence-based methods such as cognitive behavioral techniques and trauma-focused work while centering each person’s perspective to tailor interventions.

Clients can expect a collaborative process that balances emotional understanding with skills-building for coping, communication, and problem solving. Located in Ohio, she offers multiple online session formats to fit different needs and schedules.

Shannon frames therapy as a courageous step toward a more satisfying life and positions herself as a supportive collaborator in that journey.

Approaches That Guide Online Work



Shannon integrates cognitive behavioral therapy and trauma-focused therapy into online work to provide both practical skills and processing of distressing experiences. CBT focuses on identifying and reshaping unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, offering strategies to reduce anxiety, manage mood symptoms, and address problematic patterns. Trauma-focused therapy supports gradual, structured exploration of past wounds and their effects, helping people build stability and safety while processing painful memories.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the collaborative process. Shannon partners with clients to evaluate what techniques match their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts methods as therapy progresses to stay responsive to what helps most.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These options allow work to continue around busy schedules, travel, or mobility constraints while preserving continuity of care and consistent support from a licensed professional.
