About Shannon
Shannon Young is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New York with five years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and life changes. She also supports those coping with attention difficulties and social anxiety and phobia.
Shannon uses straightforward conversation to help people sort through what matters most. Sessions focus on practical steps and clearer thinking rather than jargon. She aims to build trust so clients can try out new ways of handling hard moments.
Her work often addresses how attachment and communication patterns affect everyday relationships. She helps people notice repeated habits that cause friction and then practices different responses. This can include improving how someone speaks up, handles criticism, or asks for support.
When isolation or low mood is present, Shannon breaks issues into manageable parts. She helps people identify small routines that can change how a day feels. For problems with focus and attention she looks at strategies for organization, pacing, and realistic goal-setting.
Shannon describes therapy as a collaborative process. She checks in about progress and adjusts what they try together. The emphasis is on clear, usable tools people can practice between sessions.
She works in English and is based in New York. Before booking, confirm current session options and formats to make sure they fit your needs.
How evidence-based techniques translate to online work
Shannon commonly uses practical, evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on changing thoughts and behaviors and on improving communication. Cognitive approaches look at unhelpful thinking patterns and teach skills to test and modify those thoughts, which can help with social worry and low mood. Behavioral strategies involve gradual, planned practice of feared situations and routine changes to reduce avoidance and build confidence.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. Shannon views treatment as a collaborative process and will discuss goals, preferences, and everyday constraints to decide which techniques to try. Clients are invited to give feedback so sessions can be adjusted as they go.
The practical benefits of online work can include easier scheduling and fitting sessions into a busy day. Some people find remote sessions reduce travel time and make it simpler to attend consistently.
