About Shannon

Shannon Fahy is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, and depression. She has 21 years of experience and aims to make starting therapy feel manageable. Shannon focuses on practical steps people can use right away to feel steadier and more able to cope.

She creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk about hard feelings and confusing life moments. Shannon listens closely to understand what matters to each person and adapts her approach to their needs.

Background and approach

Sessions focus on what a person wants to change and simple tools to get there. Her work draws on several approaches, including Existential Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. That mix allows her to address both immediate symptoms and deeper questions about meaning and purpose.

People often bring concerns such as emptiness, midlife transitions, or difficulty finding self-love. Shannon also uses mindfulness and Jungian ideas when they fit the situation. Those approaches can help people notice patterns, regulate emotions, and explore life purpose.

She frames change as a collaboration rather than a set of instructions. Practically, Shannon offers sessions in English and accepts international clients. She is licensed in North Carolina and brings two decades of clinical experience to each interaction.

Starting therapy is framed as a step-by-step process tailored to the person’s pace and goals.

Online support

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Shannon uses Existential Therapy to help people look at big life questions and find personal meaning. This approach can be useful for concerns like emptiness, life purpose, and midlife transitions because it focuses on values and choice.

She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which centers on respectful listening and creating a supportive space. That style helps people feel heard and understood while they sort through difficult emotions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, appears in sessions when practical skill-building is needed to manage anxiety, depression, or day-to-day stressors.

Choosing the best approach is a team effort. Shannon works with each person to match methods to their goals and preferences. She checks in regularly to see what is helping and adjusts the plan as needed.

Online formats offer reliable flexibility. Video calls let discussion feel similar to in-person work and are useful for deeper conversations. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited or a quieter audio-only check-in fits the moment. Live chat and text-based messaging are well suited to short updates, coaching-style support, or when someone prefers writing to speaking. These options help therapy fit around work, family, and travel schedules.
