About Shannon

Shannon Talley is an LPC based in Virginia who supports people working through stress, anxiety, grief and loss, depression, bipolar disorder, and ADHD among other concerns. With eight years of clinical experience, she emphasizes clients' existing strengths and believes each person understands their own story.

Background and approach

Shannon approaches change as a collaborative process, offering both active coaching and reflective support depending on what an individual needs. Her practice blends attachment-informed thinking with a holistic, strengths-based outlook.

For some clients she uses focused, goal-oriented techniques that encourage stepping outside comfort zones to build confidence and new habits. For others she provides slower-paced, client-centered space to process emotions and sort through difficult experiences such as trauma, addiction, intimacy struggles, and career or parenting stress.

Shannon also addresses specialized concerns including gender dysphoria, hoarding, hospice and end-of-life counseling, intellectual disability, isolation or loneliness, and seasonal mood changes. She communicates in English and holds the Virginia LPC credential - VA LPC 0701011592.

Approaches in Online Care and How They Help

Attachment-Based Therapy emphasizes the role of relationships and emotional bonds in shaping behavior, offering a way to explore patterns that affect trust and connection; this can be useful for clients dealing with intimacy issues, trauma, or attachment-related distress.

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on empathetic listening and creating a supportive environment where clients guide the pace and focus of work, which is often helpful for processing grief, transitions, and identity concerns.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers structured tools to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, making it a practical option for symptoms of anxiety, depression, ADHD-related challenges, and coping with life stressors.

Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Shannon collaborates with each person to determine which methods align with their goals, personality, and needs, and she adjusts techniques over time so therapy remains relevant and effective for the individual.

Online sessions using video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging provide flexibility for scheduling and for choosing the interaction style that feels most comfortable. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care during busy or changing life circumstances and allow licensed professionals to tailor pace and communication to each client's preferences.
