Shannon Seminario , LCSW

Shannon Seminario is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who focuses on women's issues, stress, anxiety, relationships, family concerns, self-esteem, and depression. She aims to make therapy straightforward and practical so people can take next steps even when life feels heavy. Sessions are meant to be warm, respectful, and goal-oriented.

With five years of clinical experience, Shannon has worked in mental health and substance use settings. She has helped people manage anxiety, depression, grief, addiction, and emotional regulation challenges. She also supports those navigating relationship strains, family-of-origin problems, blended family dynamics, and the pressures of parenting.

Shannon uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques adapted to each person's needs. In sessions she focuses on clear tools for coping, building emotional awareness, improving communication, and reducing overwhelming feelings. Practical strategies and small, steady changes are emphasized over vague solutions.

When desired, faith and spirituality can be part of the work. Shannon is comfortable integrating Christian faith into conversations about meaning, values, and healing. She meets people where they are and respects varied belief systems.

Therapy can include short skills practice, talk-based problem solving, and planning for real-world situations. Shannon encourages collaboration so clients set the pace and goals. She works in English and provides sessions remotely by several formats to fit different needs.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Shannon draws from evidence-based techniques that focus on practical skills and emotional understanding. One common approach she uses involves cognitive-behavioral methods that help identify unhelpful thoughts and replace them with more useful ones; this is helpful for anxiety, low mood, and stress. Another approach incorporates mindfulness and emotional regulation strategies that teach simple breathing, grounding, and noticing practices to reduce overwhelm and improve day-to-day coping.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about their concerns, goals, and what feels most helpful. That collaborative process guides which techniques are emphasized and how they are adapted to fit real life.

Online therapy here is offered by licensed professionals using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video sessions let people read cues and practice skills in conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat provides a quick check-in, and text messaging supports brief updates or reminders between meetings. These options make scheduling more flexible and allow therapy to fit around work, family, and other commitments.
