Shan Croft , LMFT

Shan Croft is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) practicing in Georgia with nine years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people navigate relationship struggles, anxiety, depression, and the stresses that come with life changes. Shan also offers support around women's issues, grief, addiction concerns, and challenges with self-esteem and intimacy.

Her approach is collaborative and straightforward. Sessions are shaped around what the person wants to work on, and Shan uses practical conversations to reframe thoughts and behaviors that get in the way. She balances gentle support with clear, goal-oriented steps so people leave with tools they can use between sessions.

Shan uses a mix of methods including client-centered listening, cognitive behavioral techniques, motivational interviewing, narrative work, and solution-focused strategies. She tailors these approaches to each person, matching the method to the current concern and what a person finds most helpful. Sessions run either 30 minutes or 45 minutes, and she can shorten a booked 45-minute time if a shorter check-in is preferred.

People often come to Shan for help with attachment and abandonment worries, codependency, communication problems, blended family issues, infidelity, and career-related stress. She also addresses multicultural concerns, prejudice and discrimination, and burnout or compassion fatigue.

Shan offers therapy in English and works with adults from her Georgia practice. Her counseling uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and session formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging.

How Shan’s Approaches Work Online

Shan commonly uses client-centered work to help people feel heard and understood. This approach focuses on the person's goals and uses listening and reflection to guide change. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, targets unhelpful thinking and the behaviors that follow, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Shan partners with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and comfort level. She adjusts techniques as therapy unfolds so sessions remain relevant and useful for the person’s needs.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into busy lives. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and nonverbal cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging can help people keep momentum between longer sessions or share updates when scheduling is tight.
