About Shannon

Shannon Sartori is an LCSW based in Oklahoma who blends a cognitive behavioral framework with an emphasis on empowerment to help clients navigate complex life challenges.

Background and approach

With 20 years of experience in clinical settings, she draws on work in youth and family programs, in-school therapy coordination, victim services management, court and corrections involvement, serious mental illness assessment and referral, and independent practice to inform a practical and compassionate approach.

Her style is relaxed and warm, centered on identifying and strengthening existing skills so clients can apply them to concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy issues, trauma and abuse, ADHD, addiction, grief, sleep and eating difficulties, career strain, and compassion fatigue.

She also has additional focus in areas including first responder issues, gender dysphoria, HIV/AIDS, and hoarding. Shannon frames treatment around collaboration and skill-building, helping people set achievable goals and develop strategies that fit their daily lives.

Clients can expect a therapist who values empowerment and evidence-informed techniques, particularly CBT, while tailoring care to individual preferences and circumstances. Her background across systems and settings supports practical problem solving and thoughtful referrals when additional resources are needed.

Using CBT and Empowerment Strategies in Online Care

Shannon emphasizes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. CBT is commonly used for concerns such as anxiety, depression, stress, sleep problems, and coping with life changes.

She also centers an empowerment-oriented approach that highlights a client's existing strengths and builds practical skills for managing relationship difficulties, trauma-related distress, ADHD challenges, and substance concerns. This approach supports goal-setting and gradual skill practice tailored to each person's circumstances.

Finding the right approach is collaborative; the therapist will work with clients to determine whether CBT, empowerment strategies, or a combination best fits their needs, goals, and preferences. This collaborative process includes reviewing what has worked in the past and adjusting techniques over time.

Online formats such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging make it easier to access consistent care while balancing work, family, and location constraints. These options offer flexibility in scheduling, allow for brief check-ins when needed, and support ongoing skill practice between sessions.
