Shanna Scott, LPC

Shanna Scott is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Colorado with 12 years of clinical experience. She works with stress, anxiety, grief, self-esteem concerns, depression, and coping with life changes, including social anxiety and phobia.

She draws on a broad range of front-line experience, including work in correctional settings and on a criminal justice mental health team. That work involved supporting adults with mood disorders, trauma, addiction, and co-occurring conditions. She has helped people build coping skills, connect with resources, and manage case coordination needs when required.

Shanna uses an adaptable, problem-focused style in session. She and the client set practical goals and build steps toward them. Conversations include identifying thoughts and behaviors that get in the way and practicing different ways of responding to stress or anxiety.

Her approach pulls from several evidence-based methods. She commonly uses techniques from Motivational Interviewing to support change, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address unhelpful thinking, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy tools for emotion regulation and values-based action.

Sessions typically focus on skills people can use between meetings. She emphasizes clear communication, honest feedback, and a collaborative plan. People who want straightforward steps for reducing avoidance, improving confidence in social situations, or navigating major life transitions will find this practical focus helpful.
