Shanna Scott, LPC

Shanna Scott is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Colorado with 12 years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression, and adjusting to life changes. She also supports people who are struggling with motivation and questions about life purpose.

Her background includes work in correctional settings and in community mental health. That experience involved providing case management, linking people to resources, and helping develop practical coping skills. She spent six years on a criminal justice team, working with adults who had co-occurring conditions such as mood disorders, trauma, and substance use concerns.

In sessions she focuses on clear communication and building a strong working relationship. She describes therapy as a collaborative process where client goals guide the plan. She aims to help people identify strengths and practical steps to move forward rather than offer quick fixes.

Shanna uses an eclectic mix of evidence-based techniques. She draws on methods like Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Solution-Focused approaches. Those tools are used to teach coping skills, manage symptoms, and address problems such as isolation, workplace stress, and communication difficulties.

Her practice emphasizes straightforward, goal-oriented work. Sessions often include skill practice, problem solving, and planning for next steps. People who feel stuck after a job change, relationship shift, or health event may find her approach practical and direct.
