About Shannon
Shannon Denny is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) with 35 years of clinical experience. She supports people through hard life changes like divorce and separation, and helps with stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, and self-esteem concerns. Shannon is attentive and direct, and she weaves clients' values into the work when that matters to them.
She focuses on improving communication and rebuilding self-love after painful experiences. She also helps people work through guilt, shame, and issues around forgiveness.
How Shannon works
Sessions aim to be practical, with clear steps people can try between meetings. Shannon respects faith as part of healing and can integrate Christian perspectives when clients want that included. She frames therapy around each person's beliefs instead of imposing a single viewpoint.
Her style centers on listening carefully, asking straightforward questions, and helping people take small, achievable steps toward change. Treatment plans are tailored to each person's situation and goals. Shannon draws on decades of experience to recognize patterns that keep people stuck and to offer alternative ways of responding.
She guides clients through transitions with a calm, steady presence and attention to what they value most.

How evidence-based techniques shape online care
Shannon uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and emotional processing. One common approach is structured, skills-based work that teaches concrete tools for managing anxiety and stress, such as breathing, pacing, and problem-solving strategies to reduce overwhelm. Another approach involves guided processing of grief and difficult emotions to help people move through loss and rebuild a sense of self-worth after painful events.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Shannon will discuss options with each person, consider their goals and values, and adjust methods as needed so the work fits the client's needs and preferences.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm current session options before booking since formats are not listed here. Online work can help fit sessions into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and avoid travel time so people can use therapy during a lunch break or between errands. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and homework for virtual meetings, making progress practical and usable in daily life.
