Shannon Chenier, LPC

Shannon Chenier is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, and life changes. She aims to make the first step feel manageable and affirms the strengths each person brings to therapy. Her tone is supportive and straightforward for someone seeking help.

Shannon focuses on practical strategies that fit day-to-day life. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. She also draws on Motivational Interviewing to support change when motivation feels mixed or stuck.

Sessions emphasize clear goals and simple skills people can use between meetings. Shannon encourages small steps and tracks progress together so clients see what works. Conversations are direct but warm, aimed at solving current problems while building coping skills for the future.

With three years of professional experience, she has worked with a range of concerns including addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, anger, relationship strain, family issues, self-esteem, and career questions. She meets with people in English and accepts international clients.

Clients meet with Shannon online through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. She asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to availability.

How Shannon’s approach translates to online therapy

Shannon uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try concrete behavior changes. CBT can be useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and mood goals because it breaks problems into small, workable steps.

She also uses Motivational Interviewing to explore what matters to a person and to boost readiness for change. That approach suits issues where motivation feels mixed, such as addictions or making major life changes.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Shannon works with each person to match methods to their needs and goals, and she adjusts the plan as progress unfolds. Clients help set priorities and test what works in daily life.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy schedules and different communication needs. Video calls allow fuller conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat works for quick check-ins, and text-based messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options help fit therapy into work, caregiving, or travel routines while keeping focus on practical skills and steady progress.
