Dr. Shano Palovich Rodgers, LMFT

Dr. Shano Palovich Rodgers is a licensed marriage and family therapist who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief, trauma, and parenting challenges. She approaches work with a steady, practical style and cares about building trust so people can speak honestly about what they are facing.

She begins by listening to each person's goals and strengths and then maps out small, achievable steps. Sessions aim to make problems easier to manage day to day, using techniques that help change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. The tone is supportive and direct, with an emphasis on real-world tools.

Rodgers brings 18 years of experience that include work in foster and adoptive care and private practice settings. That history informs how she helps people cope with family stress, adoption-related concerns, first responder issues, and end-of-life challenges. She also supports people dealing with workplace pressure and compassion fatigue.

Her clinical approach includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Narrative Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Trauma-Focused Therapy. These methods are used to address mood concerns such as depression and bipolar disorder, attention-related challenges like ADHD, and relationship or career stress.

Dr. Rodgers holds the LMFT credential, and she practices in California. She works in English and offers sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text messaging. The first step is a short questionnaire to match needs and schedule a session.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Dr. Rodgers uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Trauma-Focused Therapy as core ways to help people in online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going, and it is often used for anxiety, depression, and coping with daily stress. Trauma-Focused Therapy centers on helping people process traumatic experiences and build skills to reduce triggers and distress.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. She will talk with each person about their goals, needs, and what feels most helpful, then try methods that match those priorities. Over time the plan can be adjusted based on what works and what feels manageable.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and skill practice, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat and text can suit brief check-ins or people who prefer writing, and these options make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week.
