About Shiann
LPC Shiann McCollough is a licensed professional counselor practicing in the District of Columbia with nine years of clinical experience. She focuses on depression, anxiety, stress, relationship concerns, self-esteem, and coping with life changes. Sessions are described as collaborative and grounded in evidence-based approaches listed by her: Solution-Focused, Cognitive-Behavioral, and Person-Centered methods. Shiann conducts therapy in English and does not accept international clients.
She begins by helping people notice patterns in thoughts and emotions. That often means tracking moments of worry, low mood, or conflict and identifying what keeps those patterns in place. She uses straightforward techniques to teach skills for emotional regulation and to shift unhelpful thinking. Sessions also look at past experiences when those memories affect current relationships and mood.
Communication skills are a common focus. Shiann works with people who want clearer boundaries, better conversations, or to repair the impact of attachment wounds. She also helps clients facing workplace stress, identity-related discrimination, or life transitions like college, career shifts, and relationship changes.
Her approach uses short-term, goal-oriented tools alongside a person-centered stance. That means sessions often combine practical steps with time to reflect on values and meaning. People can expect a mix of skill practice, reflection, and problem-solving tailored to the issues they bring.
Practical matters are handled up front. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, prospective clients complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the platform's booking process.

How evidence-based techniques are used in remote sessions
Solution-Focused work concentrates on practical steps and small changes that can make a difference quickly. In sessions that use this approach the therapist and client identify specific goals and experiment with small, doable actions to reach them. Cognitive-Behavioral techniques focus on the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Those methods help people notice unhelpful thinking patterns, test them, and practice alternative responses to reduce anxiety or low mood. Person-Centered approaches prioritize the client's perspective and lived experience, giving space to reflect on values and what matters most.Finding the right blend of these methods is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to try approaches, review what helps, and adjust methods based on goals and preferences. That means sessions can become more skills-focused or more reflective as needed.
The practical benefits of remote sessions depend on the formats the therapist offers. The biography does not list specific formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Many people find remote work useful for fitting conversations into a busy week, reducing travel time, or making shorter check-ins possible during a break at work. Therapists and licensed professionals can adapt exercises, worksheets, and between-session practice to an online setting so progress continues between meetings.
