About Bobbie
Bobbie Shannon is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) with 35 years of clinical experience in mental health settings and independent practice.
Background and approach
She supports people facing stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, trauma and abuse, depression, grief, parenting concerns, intimacy issues, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and related mood and family problems. Her work also addresses codependency, communication problems, divorce and separation, domestic violence, family of origin issues, post-traumatic stress, sexual assault and abuse, women’s issues, and young adult concerns.
Her counseling style blends warmth with direct, interactive guidance, aiming to meet clients where they are and help them uncover their own answers. Bobbie draws from approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Client-Centered Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Mindfulness, and Solution-Focused Therapy to tailor sessions to each person’s needs.
She emphasizes collaboration and practical steps that align with an individual’s goals and values. Practicing from North Carolina, she brings decades of experience helping clients work toward greater resilience, clearer communication, and renewed sense of self.
Her approach emphasizes authenticity and steady, goal-oriented progress rather than quick fixes.
Integrating Therapeutic Approaches for Online Support
Bobbie frequently uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns; this approach can be useful for managing anxiety, depression, and stress by teaching practical skills and structured strategies. She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes empathic listening and supporting clients to find their own solutions; that method helps when someone needs a collaborative, nonjudgmental space to explore feelings and values. Emotionally-Focused Therapy is part of her repertoire as well and can assist with understanding emotional responses in relationships and improving attachment and communication.Choosing the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. She works with clients to consider their goals, preferences, and day-to-day realities, and adjusts methods over time so the work stays aligned with what each person hopes to achieve.
Online therapy with her can take place through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access timely support, and practice skills between sessions while fitting therapy into a busy life.
