About Shannan
Her practice includes work with a wide range of mental health concerns, from relationship difficulties and intimacy-related issues to grief, trauma, depression, anxiety, addictions, and life transitions. She also welcomes conversations about sexuality and holds a post-graduate certificate in sex therapy, making her an informed resource for members of the LGBTQIA community and anyone wishing to explore sexual health in counseling. Whether a person seeks improved communication skills, support through a major change, or structured guidance to meet specific goals, she adapts her approach to fit the individual.
Shannan aims to create a kind and supportive environment free from judgment and censorship, while providing more direct, structured feedback when preferred. She is not a crisis counselor and her modality is not a fit for clients struggling with self-harm or suicidal urges or behavior. Initial appointments are typically conducted by video, with most follow-up sessions occurring by phone.
Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support
Shannan Katz integrates client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy to guide online work. Client-centered therapy focuses on active listening and empathetic understanding, creating space for clients to explore feelings and values while shaping goals at their own pace - it is helpful for relationship concerns, self-esteem, and life transitions. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) targets patterns of thinking and behavior, offering practical tools to manage anxiety, depression, stress, and obstacles to daily functioning by identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts.
She may also draw on dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) techniques when clients need skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process; Shannan works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress unfolds.
Online therapy with licensed professionals offers flexibility and accessibility - sessions can happen by video, by phone, or through live chat and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, try different formats for different goals, and access support from home or wherever life takes you.
