Shannan Faust is an LPCC licensed in California who focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, self esteem, and depression. She brings four years of professional experience to her work. She aims to meet people where they are and to help them take practical steps forward.
Shannan centers conversations on respect, sensitivity, and compassion. She tailors each session and any treatment plan to the individual's needs. Sessions focus on clear goals, small changes, and ways to build confidence and motivation.
Her work often addresses the fallout from trauma and addictive behavior while also looking at everyday stress and mood concerns. She helps people notice patterns that hold them back and try different ways of responding. That can include working on communication, handling guilt or shame, and rebuilding a sense of self-worth.
Shannan also supports people who feel isolated or stuck at work. She helps clients explore life purpose, set boundaries, and practice forgiveness when that matters. Her approach is straightforward and practical rather than heavy on jargon.
Getting started involves taking a small first step. Shannan encourages people to sign up and complete a short matching questionnaire so they can schedule sessions that fit their life. She recognizes that beginning therapy takes courage and offers steady, respectful support through that process.
How evidence-based approaches guide online care
Shannan uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear steps and measurable changes. One common approach emphasizes building skills to manage anxiety and stress through breathing, scheduling, and gradual exposure to feared situations. These tools aim to reduce overwhelm and help people regain control over daily routines.
Another practical strand of work targets patterns that maintain low self esteem and addictive behaviors. This involves identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying alternative actions, with the goal of improving confidence and self-love over time. For trauma-related concerns, techniques that gently address distressing memories and increase coping strategies can make everyday life feel safer and more manageable.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of therapy. The therapist will work together with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. That collaborative process includes checking what’s working and adjusting plans as needed.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats available before booking since formats are not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, and offering options that suit different energy or bandwidth levels. Talk with the therapist about practical scheduling and what will fit best with your routine.
