About Shannon

Shannon Rick is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in New York who focuses on helping people navigate a wide range of life challenges.

Background and approach

She works with concerns such as addictions, mood disorders including depression and bipolar symptoms, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, stress, relationship and intimacy issues, ADHD, parenting and family conflicts, and compassion fatigue.

Shannon emphasizes understanding the whole person and collaborates with clients to build skills like communication, self-esteem, and self-confidence while addressing co-occurring concerns such as substance use, codependency, and caregiver stress. Her practice blends client-centered values with practical, evidence-informed techniques.

Shannon draws on cognitive behavioral methods, motivational interviewing, and strengths-based or mindfulness-informed elements to design individualized treatment plans. With four years of clinical experience and a focus on helping clients cope with life changes, she aims to support people as they set goals and develop strategies to manage emotions, rebuild relationships, and pursue more productive daily routines.

Clients can expect a supportive, goal-oriented approach that centers their priorities while using structured tools to address thought patterns, behavior, and coping skills. Shannon’s work is shaped by a collaborative process that seeks to match therapeutic methods to each person’s needs and circumstances.

Approach and Access: How Therapy Works Online

Shannon commonly integrates cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and motivational interviewing into her online work. CBT involves identifying and shifting unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression and to improve daily functioning. Motivational interviewing is a collaborative, goal-focused method that helps people resolve ambivalence and strengthen motivation for change, often useful when addressing addictions or stages of readiness for treatment.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Shannon works jointly with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences and then tailors techniques to fit those priorities. This collaborative process means methods can be adjusted over time as goals evolve and new challenges arise.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to attend sessions from home or while traveling and allow for both real-time conversations and written check-ins between appointments. The variety of options supports consistent engagement and helps people access care in ways that fit their daily lives.
