About Shannon

Shannon Rosenbauer is a licensed clinician practicing in Maryland who blends empathic listening with practical strategies to support people navigating grief, life transitions, and emotional struggles.

Background and approach

With an MD and LCSW-C and twelve years of professional experience, she brings both medical insight and social work expertise to matters such as chronic or life-threatening illness, caregiver stress, and behavioral concerns like impulsivity and addiction. She also addresses areas including self-esteem, motivation, relationship and family problems, depression, anxiety, and ADHD.

Her approach emphasizes a nonjudgmental, collaborative atmosphere where clients' thoughts and feelings are welcomed and explored. Shannon draws on client-centered methods alongside cognitive behavioral and mindfulness techniques to help clients build coping skills, manage stress, and increase day-to-day functioning.

She also integrates motivational interviewing and psychodynamic perspectives when useful to understand patterns and strengthen internal resources. Beginning therapy can feel challenging, and she encourages those taking that step to recognize their courage.

Shannon works with each person to tailor the process to their needs, helping them set realistic goals and find strategies that fit their life circumstances.

Therapeutic Techniques and Online Care

Shannon commonly uses client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy to guide online work. Client-centered therapy focuses on empathic listening and building a strong therapeutic relationship so clients can explore emotions and goals at their own pace, which is helpful for issues like grief, self-esteem, and relationship concerns. Cognitive behavioral therapy provides practical tools to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, making it useful for anxiety, depression, ADHD-related challenges, and stress management.

Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. She partners with clients to assess needs, preferences, and goals, and may combine elements from different methods to create a personalized plan. This flexibility helps ensure the techniques used align with each person's situation and desired outcomes.

Online therapy with Shannon is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexible access to care. These formats allow appointments to fit into busy schedules, support continuity of care during life transitions, and make it easier to receive help from home or another convenient location.
