About Shantel

Shantel Westbrook brings two decades of clinical experience as a licensed professional (LCP) in Kansas, guiding people through stress, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. She focuses on practical support for motivation, self-esteem, addictions, and sleep difficulties, and offers coaching-oriented help for career concerns and finding greater purpose.

Background and approach

Her work also addresses grief, compassion fatigue, and challenges related to ADHD alongside a broad range of mood and adjustment issues. Westbrook aims to build an open, nonjudgmental therapeutic space where clients can explore feelings and test new coping strategies.

She emphasizes encouragement and collaboration, helping people identify goals and take actionable steps toward change. Whether the concern is a panic episode, a midlife decision, or ongoing struggles with substance use, she works to empower clients to move toward a more satisfying life.

Practicing in Kansas, Shantel integrates twenty years of experience with a compassionate, practical approach that centers client strengths. Her sessions are geared toward fostering resilience, clearer communication, and sustainable coping skills so clients can face current challenges and plan for the future.

Evidence-Based Techniques and Flexible Online Care

Shantel draws on established, evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help clients develop skills and manage symptoms. One commonly used approach focuses on skill-building for emotion regulation and anxiety reduction through structured exercises and practical tools that can lessen panic symptoms and chronic worry. Another typical method emphasizes relapse prevention and behavioral strategies to address addictions and improve sleep and daily routines, supporting sustainable change in habits and motivation.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process; the therapist collaborates with each person to determine which techniques best match their goals, preferences, and challenges. Together they review progress and adjust methods so treatment stays aligned with the client’s needs and evolving priorities.

Online sessions offer flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit care into busy schedules and to maintain continuity across life changes. These formats provide access to licensed professionals from home or work, allow for regular check-ins, and make it simpler to combine therapy with other commitments while pursuing consistent progress.
