About Bobbie

Bobbie Shannon is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in South Carolina and a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in North Carolina with 35 years of practice. She works with adults on common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, grief, parenting challenges, and anger. Sessions address practical problems like communication breakdowns, codependency, and life transitions. She also supports people coping with trauma, sexual assault, domestic violence, and post-traumatic stress.

Her style is straightforward and interactive. She encourages clients to notice what already works for them and to build on those strengths. Bobbie uses an eclectic set of methods and chooses what fits the person and the problem. Expect clear conversations, practical suggestions, and space to test new ways of handling conflict and strong feelings.

Over her career she has worked in mental health settings and private practice. That background informs a flexible approach to common life problems and longer-standing difficulties. She helps people practice skills for managing anger, reducing reactivity, and repairing relationships.

Sessions typically focus on small, usable changes rather than abstract theory. Techniques include cognitive-behavioral ideas to shift unhelpful thoughts, emotion-focused work to understand patterns, and mindfulness to reduce immediate reactivity. She also draws on solution-focused tools to set short-term goals and measure progress.

People who come to her often want straightforward feedback and practical tools. She helps clients apply strategies between sessions and track what is changing. Getting better at handling anger and rebuilding trust are frequent practical aims in her work.

How sessions work

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the client's perspective and aims to support people in finding their own solutions. It helps when someone wants to make sense of their feelings and identify what matters to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to reduce angry reactions and change unhelpful thinking patterns. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people recognize and change patterns in close relationships and can be useful when anger comes from attachment or hurt.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to decide which methods fit the presenting problem, goals, and personal preferences. That may mean mixing strategies across sessions and adjusting the plan as progress is tracked.

Confirm the exact online session options before booking, since the biography does not list formats. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten check-ins when time is limited, and let people use tools like mindfulness exercises between meetings. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT, emotion-focused work, and solution-focused tasks for remote sessions so practical skills are practiced in everyday life.
