About Greg

Greg Shannon is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) with nine years of experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, addiction, depression, trauma, relationship concerns, and other life challenges.

Background and approach

He has worked across settings from independent practice to residential treatment and psychiatric wards, bringing practical strategies and compassionate support to each client. Greg emphasizes a warm, empathetic environment where honesty and accountability guide change.

He blends strength-based, goal-oriented methods with tools drawn from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), motivational interviewing, and solution-focused techniques to build skills, challenge unhelpful patterns, and track progress. He also offers coaching for performance areas like athletics, career development, and personal growth.

Clients who seek to improve coping, manage mood swings or addiction, repair relationships, or tackle parenting and intimacy issues will find a collaborative approach that balances feedback and encouragement. Greg practices in Pennsylvania and conducts sessions in English, aiming to help people move from surviving to thriving through practical, measurable steps.

Combining practical approaches with online accessibility

Greg commonly draws on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, offering clear exercises and homework that help with anxiety, depression, and addictive patterns. He also integrates dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness for clients experiencing intense emotions or relationship strain. Client-centered elements ensure sessions remain collaborative and grounded in empathy, letting the client's goals shape the plan.

Choosing the right approach is an interactive process. The therapist works with each person to explore goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, and then adjusts methods over time so therapy stays aligned with progress and changing needs.

Online sessions are available as video calls, phone meetings, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to access consistent care without travel, support continuity during life transitions, and allow for varied ways to engage in skill-building and coaching work.
