About Shantel

Shantel Farrow is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) based in Oklahoma who works with adults facing a wide spectrum of emotional and interpersonal challenges.

Background and approach

She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship difficulties, and ADHD-related concerns, and draws on eight years of clinical experience to tailor practical strategies for each person's situation. Her practice blends person-centered care with evidence-based methods to support healing and growth.

Shantel uses approaches such as attachment-informed work, cognitive behavioral techniques, and EMDR to address trauma and persistent patterns that undermine wellbeing. She emphasizes collaborative goal setting so clients learn skills for coping with life changes, improving communication, and rebuilding self-esteem.

Clients can expect a compassionate, culturally aware clinician who prioritizes respect and individualized pacing. Shantel also addresses a range of related issues including grief, addictions, caregiving stress, body image, and intimacy concerns, helping people move from surviving to making clearer, values-aligned choices in their everyday lives.

Therapeutic Approaches and How They Work Online

Attachment-Based Therapy centers on exploring relational patterns formed early in life and how they influence current connections; it helps people understand attachment needs and reshape interactions with significant others. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and building practical skills to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and improve daily functioning. EMDR is a trauma-focused method that supports processing distressing memories through structured bilateral stimulation, often used when past events continue to affect present wellbeing.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Shantel works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods fit their goals and preferences. She layers techniques when appropriate, monitors progress, and adjusts plans so treatment remains responsive to each person's changing needs.

Online therapy offers flexible access to licensed professionals through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These formats allow for consistent support while fitting therapy into busy schedules, enabling clients to engage in sessions from different locations and maintain momentum between meetings with messaging options for brief check-ins and follow-up.
