About Shannon
LMFT (Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist) in California with 35 years of clinical experience, Shannon Denny focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, family concerns, grief, and self esteem. She works with people coping with communication problems, divorce and separation, forgiveness, guilt and shame, and learning to practice self-love. Shannon integrates clients' values into sessions when that is helpful.
Shannon uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage strong emotions and life transitions. Sessions involve straightforward conversation about what's happening now, practical steps to reduce distress, and attention to how relationships shape feelings and choices. She includes spiritual concerns when clients want Christian perspectives to be part of the work.
Her style favors clear goals and steady pacing. That can mean setting one or two small tasks between meetings, checking progress, and adjusting the focus as needed. The aim is to make problems easier to handle rather than offer abstract reassurance.
Shannon has many years of experience guiding people through separation and the grief that follows loss. That background informs how she helps people process guilt, work on forgiveness, and rebuild a sense of self after big changes.
People looking for help with addictive behaviors or persistent anxiety will find attention to both coping skills and relationship patterns. Work often shifts between emotion regulation, communication practice, and values-based choices.
To begin, clients can expect an initial conversation to identify goals and discuss which practical approaches fit best. Sessions are structured but adjust to each person's pace and needs.

How evidence-based techniques are used in online sessions
Shannon relies on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide online work. One common approach focuses on practical coping skills for anxiety and stress: identifying triggers, learning breathing and attention exercises, and practicing small behavioral changes to reduce daily distress. Another approach centers on relationship and communication skills; this involves role-play or guided conversations to improve how people express needs and set boundaries. When faith matters to a client, she integrates Christian perspectives as part of the plan and discusses how beliefs relate to values and choices.Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist and client review goals and preferences, try methods that suit the issue at hand, and adjust based on what helps. That means the plan may combine skills work, communication practice, and values-based conversations over several sessions.
Confirm current session formats before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. It can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins on a lunch break, or remove the need to be on camera for every meeting. Licensed professionals can use these options to keep continuity of care and to integrate therapy into everyday schedules.
