Shannon Mannino , LPC

Shannon Mannino is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Pennsylvania. She helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, low self-esteem, and relationship concerns. She also supports individuals dealing with workplace strain, social anxiety, panic, and issues common to young adults and women.

Shannon uses practical, evidence-based methods in sessions. She focuses on tools that people can try between meetings, like breathing and grounding techniques and simple behavior changes. Conversations are collaborative and goal-oriented to help clients make steady changes.

Her approach draws on cognitive behavioral ideas, solution-focused techniques, and mindfulness-based stress reduction. These methods help unpack unhelpful thinking, set realistic short-term goals, and build daily habits that reduce overwhelm. Shannon also integrates positive psychology and faith-informed perspectives when clients want that included.

Sessions are designed to teach coping strategies, boost self-awareness, and increase confidence. Shannon emphasizes small, manageable steps so progress feels achievable. She tailors the pace and focus to each person’s needs and goals.

People usually come with clear problems they want to change, like managing panic attacks, reducing impulsivity, or repairing communication. Shannon supports work on forgiveness, guilt and shame, loneliness, and finding life purpose. Her practical style aims to help people leave sessions with one or two tools to try before the next meeting.

How evidence-based methods translate to online care

Shannon draws on cognitive behavioral ideas, which focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes. This approach helps with anxiety, depression, panic, and ADHD-related patterns by giving clear experiments to try between sessions.

She also uses mindfulness-based stress reduction techniques to teach simple breathing, grounding, and attention practices. These tools reduce immediate overwhelm and are useful for panic attacks, stress, and social anxiety. When clients want short-term goal work, solution-focused methods help set clear, achievable steps toward improvement.

Finding the right method is a team effort. Shannon works with each person to decide which techniques fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts strategies over time and checks in on what is and isn’t working so treatment stays practical and relevant.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for longer sessions that need visual cues, while phone sessions require less bandwidth and can fit into a work break. Live chat and messaging are handy for brief check-ins, sharing progress, or trying short exercises between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and keep momentum between appointments.
