About Shannan
Shannan Katz is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and an Ohio Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) with 11 years of experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, anger, relationship and intimacy concerns, and other life changes. She welcomes discussion about sexuality and works with clients from the LGBTQIA community.
Shannan listens and offers a sounding board for thoughts and feelings. She uses client-centered conversation to help people gain insight and move toward goals. When clients want more structure she provides direct, practical feedback.
Her work covers many common struggles: depression, grief, addictions, trauma and abuse, sleep and eating issues, parenting questions, career strain, and coping with transitions. She also addresses attachment, blended family dynamics, body image and codependency concerns.
Shannan has a post-graduate certificate in sex therapy and is open to talking about kink and alternative sex culture. She supports people exploring intimacy, commitment, and communication challenges. She aims to be nonjudgmental while offering clear suggestions when asked.
She typically holds an initial session by video, then follows up mostly by phone. She does not provide crisis counseling and notes her approach is not intended for people struggling with self-harm or suicidal urges. Before booking, confirm current session options if you need a specific format.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to remote work
Shannan combines client-centered listening with structured methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). Client-centered work focuses on listening, reflecting, and helping people name what matters most. CBT looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep anger and anxiety cycling and offers practical exercises to try between sessions. DBT teaches emotion-regulation and distress-tolerance skills to manage intense reactions and reduce impulsive responding.Finding the right mix of approaches is collaborative. She will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before recommending techniques. That way the plan matches your needs rather than fitting you into one method.
She typically holds an initial appointment by video and most follow-ups by phone, so check the current session options before booking if you need a different format. Online work can make scheduling easier, help fit sessions into a busy day, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. If you prefer more direct coaching or structured homework, these methods translate well to remote sessions and can be adjusted as you progress.
