About Shannon
Shannon Hartman is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who focuses on helping people handle stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and big life changes. She keeps sessions straightforward and practical, helping clients notice strengths and take steps that feel doable. Taking the first step can be hard, and she aims to make that step feel respected and welcome.
With 15 years of professional experience in California, Shannon draws on several therapy styles to match each person’s needs.
Background and approach
She uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to address patterns of thinking that keep someone stuck. She also pulls from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people accept difficult feelings while moving toward personal values. Shannon pays attention to how early relationships shape current struggles, using attachment-based ideas to understand trust, closeness, and abandonment concerns.
She emphasizes a client-centered stance, so the person in front of her sets the pace and goals. Conversations focus on clear steps people can try between sessions. Her work covers many concerns, including compassion fatigue, addictions, intimacy issues, sleep problems, anger, self-esteem, and career stress.
She also supports people facing caregiver strain, divorce and separation, first responder stress, and end-of-life issues. Sessions are available in English and are delivered through video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Shannon practices in California as an LCSW and uses an approach that aims to match method to need and preference.

Online support
Therapeutic approaches for online care
Shannon uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice and accept difficult thoughts and feelings while taking action toward what matters to them. ACT is useful for anxiety, grief, and situations where avoidance keeps someone stuck.She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT is often applied to symptoms of depression, insomnia, anger, and anxiety where concrete skills and practice can make a difference.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Shannon will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and how they tend to cope. Together they pick strategies that feel like a good fit and adjust them as needed over time.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video is useful for in-depth conversation and visual cues, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat and text work well for brief check-ins or when typing feels more comfortable. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to try different formats until the right one is found.
