About Shano

Dr. Shano Palovich Rodgers offers support for people seeking practical ways to manage stress, ADHD-related concerns, trauma, grief, mood disorders, and relationship or workplace strains.

Background and approach

She focuses on building a trusting therapeutic relationship so clients can bring vulnerable material and work from their own strengths toward clearer goals. Dr.

Rodgers emphasizes collaborating with each person to set a pace that feels manageable while promoting insight and motivation. With 18 years of clinical experience in California and a focus that includes adoption and foster care, first responder issues, hospice and end-of-life counseling, and workplace challenges, she draws on multiple evidence-informed methods to tailor care.

She is licensed as an LMFT (CA LMFT 41080) and offers help for issues such as depression, bipolar symptoms, anxiety, parenting challenges, compassion fatigue, anger, self-esteem, and life transitions. Her approach blends cognitive and narrative techniques with solution-focused and trauma-informed work to address immediate concerns and longer-term patterns.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Dr. Rodgers commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Trauma-Focused Therapy in ways that adapt well to remote work. CBT helps clients identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors through concrete exercises and practical skill-building, which can be practiced between sessions. Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on stabilizing responses to traumatic experiences and developing coping strategies to reduce distress and improve daily functioning.

Finding the most helpful approach is a collaborative process. She partners with each client to clarify goals, assess what methods feel comfortable, and adjust techniques over time so therapy aligns with changing needs and preferences rather than applying a fixed formula.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase accessibility and convenience. These formats allow clients to schedule work around busy lives, access support from different locations within California, and use varied communication styles for skill practice, check-ins, or deeper conversation depending on what works best for them.
