About Shannon
Shannon Hartman is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and major life changes. She speaks plainly and focuses on what matters now so clients feel heard and understood. Taking the first step can be hard, and she acknowledges that courage while offering steady, practical support.
Shannon uses an existential lens to help people find meaning and direction when life feels confusing or empty.
Background and approach
She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and attachment-based ideas to address painful emotions and relationship patterns. Sessions are collaborative and center on the person’s priorities rather than a one-size-fits-all plan. With 15 years of experience in clinical work, Shannon blends short-term tools with deeper discussions about values and purpose.
She helps clients notice unhelpful thoughts, try new behaviors, and tolerate difficult feelings in service of chosen goals. Conversations aim to be straightforward and useful for day-to-day life. Shannon often supports people coping with caregiver stress, abandonment or attachment concerns, communication problems, and the strain of career or role changes.
She also works with issues like trauma, addiction, intimacy struggles, sleep problems, and feelings of isolation. Sessions are offered in English and are provided through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. She practices in California as an LCSW and uses approaches that match each person’s needs and goals.

Online support
How therapeutic approaches meet you online
Existential Therapy helps people look at life’s big questions and decide what matters to them. It focuses on meaning, choice, and how to live in line with one’s values when facing uncertainty or loss. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, teaches practical skills to notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck and to take actions that reflect personal values. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect trust and closeness today and supports building healthier ways of relating to others.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will listen to a person’s concerns, goals, and preferences and then suggest ways to use these approaches in combination. That plan is adjusted over time based on what helps and what does not, with the client guiding the direction.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging let people share thoughts between sessions or check in without scheduling a full call. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life and to continue work even when schedules or locations change.
