About Shannon

Shannon Chenier is a licensed professional counselor in Texas who centers her work on practical strategies to help people manage stress, anxiety, bipolar disorder, and depression.

Background and approach

She approaches therapy from a strengths-based perspective, helping clients build on what already works in their lives while developing new skills to cope with major changes, grief, addiction, relationship and family challenges, trauma, anger, self-esteem, and career concerns.

With three years of clinical experience, she aims to make the first steps into therapy feel manageable and respectful of each person’s unique story. Shannon emphasizes collaboration and practical tools, drawing on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing to help clients identify unhelpful patterns and set realistic, motivating goals.

She invites clients to take an active role in treatment and recognizes the courage it can take to begin therapy, encouraging gradual progress and skill-building tailored to individual needs. Her practice is framed around accessible, goal-oriented work delivered with warmth and respect.

Practical approaches for online growth and change

Shannon uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients notice how thoughts and behaviors influence mood and to practice concrete techniques for reducing anxiety and depressive symptoms. Motivational Interviewing is another tool she draws on to explore ambivalence and strengthen a client's own motivation for change, particularly useful around addictions, career shifts, or major life transitions.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. She works with clients to identify goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful in session, and then tailors interventions so the work aligns with each person's needs and readiness to change.

Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for busy schedules and different comfort levels. These formats make it easier to access consistent support from a licensed professional in Texas, whether a client needs real-time conversation or brief check-ins to reinforce skills between sessions.
