About Shanell
Shanell Manson is a Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) with ten years of professional experience in Ohio. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, family conflict, depression, and anger. Sessions are conducted in English and she holds the LISW and LISW-CP credentials listed for Ohio and South Carolina respectively.
Shanell focuses on practical strategies people can use when emotions run high. She listens to what matters to each person and shapes conversations around current problems. That can mean sorting through relationship tensions, managing workplace frustration, or handling built-up resentment so it does less damage day to day.
Her background includes helping people cope with life changes, grief, trauma and abuse, caregiving stress, and issues tied to attachment and codependency. Shanell also supports those facing concerns such as ADHD, bipolar mood challenges, parenting strains, and intimacy-related difficulties. She addresses both immediate coping needs and ongoing patterns that keep repeating.
In sessions she aims to be direct and respectful. People can expect focused talk, concrete coping techniques, and step-by-step plans they can try between meetings. The work often includes practicing new ways to communicate, reducing reactivity, and building clearer boundaries.
To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the online therapy options. Cost varies with location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
How sessions work
Evidence-based approaches and online care
Shanell uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on changing unhelpful patterns and improving daily functioning. One common approach is skills-based work that teaches practical breathing, grounding, and emotion-regulation exercises to reduce reactivity and manage anger in the moment. These techniques help when someone wants clearer ways to respond instead of snapping or withdrawing.Another useful strand is focused problem-solving and communication work. This involves identifying recurring interaction patterns, practicing specific phrases or boundary statements, and rehearsing new responses so conversations go differently over time. It can be applied to work stress, relationship tensions, and parenting conflicts.
Finding the right mix of methods is collaborative. Shanell will review goals, try approaches in session, and adjust plans based on what helps most. Clients and therapist decide together which techniques to prioritize and which to practice between sessions.
Practical benefits of online therapy include easier scheduling and fitting sessions into a busy week. If you want to proceed, confirm which session formats Shanell currently offers before booking so you know how meetings will be held. Online work can make it simpler to keep momentum between sessions and to try skills in everyday life.
