Shannan Faust , LPCC

Shannan Faust is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor with four years of practice in California. She focuses on women's issues along with stress, anxiety, depression, and struggles with addictions. She aims to meet people where they are and build a practical path forward.

Shannan uses straightforward, respectful conversation to help people name what feels off and decide on small, doable changes. Sessions focus on real-life problems such as low self-esteem, feeling stuck, or symptoms of post-traumatic stress. She adapts the pace and tools to each person's needs rather than following one fixed plan.

Her work pays attention to relationships and patterns that shape daily life. That includes attachment concerns, communication problems, and feeling isolated or overwhelmed at work. She also helps people look at guilt, shame, impulsivity, and how those feelings affect choices.

Shannan supports people aiming to rebuild self-love, find clearer life purpose, or repair emotional wounds through forgiveness and healthier boundaries. Her approach balances practical coping skills with talking through painful experiences. The goal is clearer thinking, steadier mood, and better ways to handle stress.

People who choose her can meet by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. She asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire to start and schedules sessions based on availability.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Shannan draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that combine practical skill building with talk-based healing. One approach focuses on teaching coping strategies for anxiety and mood symptoms, such as breathing, grounding, and manageable behavior changes to reduce daily stress. These skills are useful for people dealing with stress, low mood, or workplace pressure.

Another common focus is trauma-informed conversation that helps people process difficult experiences at a pace they can handle. This involves careful pacing, naming reactions, and building tolerance for difficult memories so they have less impact on daily life. That work can help with symptoms of post-traumatic stress, shame, and relationships that feel stuck.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to choose techniques that match their goals, needs, and comfort level, and will adjust methods as progress is made. This partnership helps tailor sessions to what actually helps.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people use visual cues for richer conversation, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging allow short check-ins and flexible communication between sessions. These options make therapy easier to fit into busy schedules and different life rhythms.
