About Shannon
Shannon Seminario is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Pennsylvania with five years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, low self-esteem, depression, and life transitions. Shannon also addresses concerns tied to family dynamics, attachment and abandonment, substance use, and body image.
She uses practical, evidence-based techniques in sessions. Conversations focus on identifying what feels stuck, testing small changes, and building clearer ways to cope. Clients can expect direct skills practice for emotion regulation, communication, and managing anxious thoughts.
Shannon draws on approaches such as cognitive behavioral tools, strategies for emotion regulation, motivational interviewing, and trauma-informed care. When helpful to the client, she can include faith or spiritual perspectives in discussions. Sessions aim to link day-to-day challenges with values and intentions so decisions feel more manageable.
Her background includes work in mental health and substance use treatment settings. That experience informs a practical style that centers problem solving and relapse prevention when relevant. Shannon typically helps people sort practical next steps after a big change in work, relationships, or health.
People who are unsure what comes next often start by naming the most pressing problem. From there Shannon and the person map small, concrete goals and practice new ways of coping. The focus stays on what can be done differently this week or month, rather than on distant promises.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Shannon commonly uses cognitive behavioral strategies and trauma-informed methods in sessions. Cognitive behavioral techniques focus on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and depression symptoms. Trauma-informed methods pay attention to how past experiences shape current reactions and build skills for emotion regulation and safety in daily life.She also draws on motivational interviewing when ambivalence about change is present. Motivational interviewing helps people clarify what matters most and find manageable reasons to try different approaches. Together a client and Shannon will consider which methods fit the person's goals and preferences, and they will adjust the approach as needed in collaboration.
The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce travel time. Phone sessions may work when video is difficult, and video can allow face-to-face interaction when preferred. The therapist will discuss practical scheduling, session length, and how to shape appointments so they fit everyday life.
