About Shannon
Shannon Salgado is a licensed marriage and family therapist with 15 years of practice. She takes an honest, person-centered approach and helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, addictions, and relationship or family conflict. She treats trauma and abuse with patience and steady attention.
Shannon encourages people to name what matters to them and to connect strengths to real steps forward. She believes most clients already have useful resources inside their story and helps them bring those forward.
Background and approach
In sessions she blends practical strategies with deeper reflection. That means using concrete tools for managing anxiety alongside conversation about meaning and purpose. Clients are invited to try new ways of responding and to notice what works for them.
Shannon draws on several evidence-based approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-focused ideas, client-centered work, and cognitive behavioral techniques. These methods are used to address issues such as guilt, shame, isolation, social anxiety, and post-traumatic stress. She works with people who want clearer communication, more self-compassion, or help rebuilding after painful events.
Shannon aims to make the process straightforward and collaborative so people leave sessions with a plan they can use between meetings.

Online support
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions that fit your life
Existential therapy helps people look at the big questions around meaning, choice, and purpose. It invites honest conversation about what matters and what might change to create a more satisfying life. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them while committing to actions that reflect personal values. It can help with anxiety, avoidance, and staying motivated during recovery. Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns from early relationships and how they show up now in trust, closeness, and communication. That work often helps with relationship stress, loneliness, and rebuilding connection.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and the issues they bring. Decisions about technique and pace are made together and adjusted as needed.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy lives. Video calls let people have fuller face-to-face contact. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a short check-in fits the day. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for brief reflections, ongoing support between sessions, or people who prefer not to use video. These options make it easier to use therapy during work breaks, when travel is difficult, or from different time zones while still working with licensed professionals.
