About Shawna

Shawna Morrison-Flood is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with ten years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and family strains, and substance concerns. Parents and adults often seek her out for help with parenting stress, mood disorder symptoms, and life transitions.

She meets people where they are and listens first to understand what they want to change. Her style is warm and straightforward.

Background and approach

Sessions center on practical steps and realistic goals rather than jargon-heavy explanations. Shawna uses a mix of approaches tailored to each person. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors.

Client-centered work gives people space to set the pace and topics. Mindfulness strategies are used for stress, anxiety, and managing strong emotions. Her background includes social work practice in child protective services and community mental health settings.

That experience shaped an ability to work with complex life problems and safety concerns. Shawna draws on years of hands-on practice rather than relying on a single method. Sessions are offered in English and are available to people in Virginia and internationally.

She supports clients through changes such as divorce, caregiving strain, grief, and recovery from abuse. The emphasis is on steady progress, practical coping skills, and clearer communication with loved ones.

How Shawna’s Methods Work Online

Shawna uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy as core tools for online work. CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors, which can help with anxiety, depression, and daily coping. Client-centered work emphasizes listening and collaboration so the person sets the pace and goals.

She often adds Mindfulness Therapy to help with stress and strong emotions. Mindfulness teaches simple breathing and attention exercises that reduce reactivity and make everyday tasks easier. Together these approaches aim to build skills people can use between sessions as well as during them.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Shawna will talk through options, check what works, and adjust methods as goals change. That collaboration helps ensure techniques match the client's needs and preferences rather than sticking to one fixed plan.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for a fuller conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions are handy when bandwidth is low or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging let people share progress, get brief coaching, or check in between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to keep work moving forward.
