About Shannon
Shannon Nelson is an LPCC based in California who helps people manage stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, depression, and ADHD-related challenges. She works with clients to build motivation, confidence, and everyday coping skills. Shannon frames the first steps as practical and direct, aiming to make change feel manageable rather than overwhelming.
She draws on experience from school settings supporting children, teens, and young adults with autism spectrum disorder, ADHD, anxiety, and depression. That background shaped a calm, steady style that focuses on individual strengths. Shannon treats each person as the expert on their own life and helps them use those strengths to move forward.
In sessions she uses several approaches to match what a person needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people spot and change unhelpful thinking and behavior. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in relationships and how early experiences affect current connections. Client-Centered Therapy keeps the conversation focused on the client’s goals and priorities.
Shannon emphasizes small, achievable steps like skill practice, clearer communication, and building routines. She often works on emotion regulation, impulse management, and rebuilding self-worth after setbacks. Progress is seen as steady work rather than a quick fix.
She has three years of professional experience and holds a California Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor credential, LPCC. Sessions are conducted in English. To start, clients use the site’s matching process and schedule according to her availability.
