About Shannon
Shannon Caraway brings a people-first focus to therapy and works with individuals across a wide age range. He draws on three years of clinical practice as a licensed clinical social worker to help clients navigating stress, anxiety, depression, grief, parenting challenges, relationship concerns, trauma, and life transitions.
Background and approach
His background in education and early roles in case management and admissions inform a practical, person-centered approach that values clear goals and collaborative problem solving. Before becoming a therapist Shannon spent 18 years in education and then moved into behavioral health, gaining experience in geriatric and adult inpatient psychiatry as well as outpatient, day treatment, and school-based settings.
He completed a master’s degree in social work and now applies Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy techniques to support coping skills, self-esteem, anger management, ADHD-related concerns, and career stress. Shannon’s caseload has included clients from age 3 through 99, and he emphasizes working with each person where they are to build manageable strategies and small, achievable changes.
CBT and Solution-Focused Care Online
Shannon often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and learn practical skills for managing anxiety, depression, stress, and related concerns. CBT involves learning small, concrete strategies to change thoughts and behaviors that contribute to emotional distress.He also uses Solution-Focused Therapy, which emphasizes clear, attainable goals and building on strengths and past successes to create forward momentum. This approach is useful when clients want focused, goal-driven work to address specific problems or life adjustments.
Choosing the right approach is collaborative; Shannon works with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. He tailors interventions over time, combining techniques as needed and adjusting the plan based on what is most helpful.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for varying schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to attend appointments from home, maintain continuity during busy periods, and check in between live sessions when useful.
