Dr. Shannon Holliker , LCSW

Dr. Shannon Holliker uses an approach that centers on attachment and practical skills. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and client-centered work to help people manage anxiety, stress, parenting challenges, and women's issues. Shannon is a Florida LCSW with 12 years of experience and a background in social work and child development.

She aims for honest, straightforward conversations where people can say what they really think and feel. Sessions focus on identifying immediate concerns, setting measurable goals, and tracking progress. Small victories are noticed and built on as therapy moves forward.

Her background includes work with parents of young children and families affected by medical or developmental stress. That experience informs practical strategies for coping, behavioral intervention planning, and support around fertility, postpartum mood, and attachment concerns. She also has experience helping people who face burnout, compassion fatigue, and the longer-term effects of trauma.

Dr. Holliker describes therapy as a collaborative process. She helps clients decide whether to look at past experiences or to focus on present-day skills and solutions. The shape and length of therapy are set together and adjusted as clients meet their goals.

Her style blends listening with concrete tools. Clients can expect a mix of gentle reflection, skill-building exercises, and mindfulness practices to improve mood, reduce anxiety, and strengthen relationships within families.

Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care

Attachment-Based Therapy pays close attention to how early relationships shape current patterns. Online work can help people notice those patterns and try new ways of relating in their day-to-day life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors with practical exercises and homework. CBT online is useful for anxiety, panic, obsessive thoughts, and mood concerns because it emphasizes skill practice between sessions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will listen to your goals and preferences and together you will pick methods that fit your situation. This is a collaborative process and approaches can shift over time as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care flexible. Video is useful for a full conversation and visual cues, phone calls can work when bandwidth is limited, live chat or text messages are helpful for brief check-ins or when typing feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into work, parenting, or medical schedules while still using evidence-informed methods.
