Shannon Crandall , LCSW

Shannon Crandall is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in Missouri who brings seven years of clinical experience to her practice. She works with adults facing a range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family challenges, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting difficulties, low self-esteem, career transitions, compassion fatigue, and attention-deficit concerns. Her practice also addresses issues related to adoption and foster care, caregiver stress, communication and family problems, first responder concerns, isolation and loneliness, life purpose, mood disorders including postpartum depression and seasonal changes, self-love, women�s issues, and the needs of young adults.

Crandall uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) as a primary method, helping clients identify patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to their distress and develop practical strategies for change. She emphasizes evidence-based, skill-focused work tailored to each person's goals and circumstances. Sessions seek to balance short-term coping strategies with longer-term problem solving to support meaningful progress.

Shannon values a collaborative approach that honors each client's strengths and preferences. She is committed to ongoing professional growth as a way to provide thoughtful, informed care, and she conducts therapy in English for individuals located in Missouri.

CBT and Online Care for Practical, Goal-Oriented Progress

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a structured, skills-based approach that helps clients identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. It emphasizes practical strategies such as behavioral experiments, thought records, and activity planning to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, stress management, and many mood and adjustment-related concerns.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Shannon works collaboratively with each person to determine what methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they explore which strategies feel most helpful and adapt the work as goals evolve.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility by allowing sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, continue work between appointments, and choose the format that best supports engagement and consistent progress with a licensed professional.
