About Shannan
Shannan OConnor is a California Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with five years of clinical experience. She works primarily with stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, including intimacy-related issues, grief, and parenting strains. Sessions are conducted in English and she accepts international clients.
Shannan sees clients as the experts on their own stories and looks for strengths to build on. She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address practical problems like panic attacks, social anxiety, and caregiver stress. Conversations focus on clear goals and specific changes a person can try between sessions.
In sessions she talks through relationship patterns and family dynamics in plain language. She also works on self-esteem, control issues, guilt and shame, and isolation. For clients dealing with trauma, abuse, or compassion fatigue she combines safety-focused pacing with problem-solving steps suited to the client's situation.
Shannan helps people manage career stress, life transitions, and the emotional impact of parenting. She includes attention to multicultural concerns and LGBTQ issues when those are relevant to a client's experience. Her work addresses both immediate coping skills and longer-term shifts in thinking and behavior.
Practical tools and steady follow-up are part of her approach. Prospective clients are encouraged to use the site flow to answer a short questionnaire and schedule a first session to begin discussing goals and next steps.

How her approaches translate to remote work
Shannan uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and measurable change. One common approach she applies is problem-focused work that breaks larger concerns into small steps and coping strategies; this helps with panic attacks, acute anxiety, and managing day-to-day stress. Another typical element is relational work that looks at interaction patterns and communication habits to address relationship and intimacy problems.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. She will work with each person to identify which methods fit their goals and preferences, and adjust the plan as progress is reviewed. This is a collaborative effort aimed at making sessions useful and relevant to real-life situations.
