Shanna Scott, LPC, helps people who are wrestling with low self-esteem, anxiety, stress, grief, and depression. She writes clear, practical goals with clients and focuses on everyday changes that build confidence and motivation. She speaks plainly and works to create a respectful space where people feel understood.
Shanna has 12 years of experience working in Colorado. Much of her work has been in correctional settings and community mental health, including six years on a Criminal Justice Team. There she supported adults with depression, bipolar disorder, trauma, addiction, and dual diagnoses, helping with case management, coping skills, and trauma processing.
Her approach is flexible and tailored to each person. She draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused strategies. These methods are used to identify unhelpful patterns, learn new coping skills, and set small achievable steps.
Shanna emphasizes collaboration and clear communication. She works with clients to set realistic goals and to track progress. She also focuses on helping people notice strengths and purpose so they can move toward a more fulfilling life.
People who want practical tools for day-to-day challenges tend to find her approach useful. If you are looking to rebuild confidence, manage mood, or navigate life changes, she offers steady support and concrete strategies.
How evidence-based methods translate to online therapy
Shanna commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing in her work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact, and helps people try small experiments to change unhelpful patterns. Motivational Interviewing focuses on a person’s own reasons for change and helps build motivation one step at a time.
She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas, which help people notice what matters to them and take action in line with those values even when emotions are difficult. These approaches are presented in straightforward, practical ways aimed at everyday life challenges like low self-esteem, anxiety, and coping with loss.
Finding the best fit is part of the process. The therapist works together with each person to choose which approaches to try, adjusts methods based on what helps, and reviews progress over time. This collaborative process means strategies are tailored to your goals and preferences rather than being one-size-fits-all.
