About Shawna

Shawna Morrison-Flood is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Virginia who brings a decade of clinical experience to her practice.

Background and approach

She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, addictions, parenting challenges, self-esteem, bipolar disorder, and ADHD among other issues. Her background includes work in child protective services and varied clinical settings, which shaped a practical, grounded approach to care.

Her therapeutic manner is welcoming, sincere, and engaging, centered on meeting clients where they are and supporting their self-determination. Shawna draws from multiple evidence-informed methods, using cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, psychodynamic ideas, and client-centered principles to tailor interventions to each person’s needs.

She values collaboration and respects the unique path each client follows toward healthier functioning. Shawna accepts international clients and offers sessions in English.

With a focus on positive change and practical tools, she aims to help people overcome obstacles, build coping strategies, and make life-enhancing choices. Her practice emphasizes empathy, respect, and an individualized mix of approaches to support meaningful progress.

Approaches that guide online care

Shawna uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a respectful, empathetic space where the person's goals and values lead the process; this approach supports those seeking clarity, emotional validation, and a collaborative plan for change. She also applies Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical skills for managing symptoms like anxiety, depression, and stress.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Shawna assesses needs and preferences with each person and tailors methods collaboratively, blending techniques when that best serves the client's goals and circumstances. This flexibility helps match therapeutic tools to the problems and strengths a client brings to sessions.

Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexible access to care. These options let clients fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity when travel or relocation occurs, and choose the format that feels most comfortable for discussing sensitive topics. Licensed professionals can use these formats to deliver structured interventions, skill-building, and reflective dialogue adapted to the online setting.
