About Shannon
Shannon Gutwein is a Wyoming-based Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 14 years of experience. She works with people facing depression, anxiety, relationship strain, addiction, anger, and other life stresses. Shannon focuses on practical steps to reduce intense feelings and improve day-to-day functioning.
Her background blends several evidence-informed approaches. She uses Client-Centered methods to listen and build a working relationship. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and mindfulness tools teach emotion regulation and distress-tolerance skills.
Sessions emphasize clear goals and small, usable skills. Shannon often works on communication habits, anger responses, coping during life transitions, and managing work-related strain. She also supports people dealing with grief, trauma, and substance concerns, focusing on what can be done now to make relationships and daily life easier.
Her style is straightforward and practical. People can expect steps, exercises, and real-world strategies rather than only talk. The aim is to help clients notice patterns, try alternatives, and measure whether new behaviors are helping.
Shannon integrates motivational interviewing when someone is weighing change, and narrative techniques to help reframe difficult experiences. She sees clients in Wyoming and conducts work in English.

How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Shannon commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in her work. CBT focuses on spotting and changing patterns of thought and behavior that feed anxiety, anger, or low mood; sessions include practical exercises and homework to try between meetings. DBT teaches straightforward emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills that help when feelings become overwhelming or conflict keeps repeating.She treats the choice of approach as a collaborative process. The therapist helps clients clarify goals and then selects techniques together, adjusting methods over time based on what the client finds most useful and doable.
Session formats were not specified in the profile, so confirm exact options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, cut travel time, and allow brief check-ins when a shorter meeting is helpful. It also lets people practice communication and emotion skills in the contexts where they live and work. Discuss scheduling and format when completing the matching questionnaire so sessions match everyday routines and goals.
