About Shannon
Shannon Rick is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in New York with four years of experience. She works with adults facing anger, addiction, mood disorders, relationship strain, grief, and stress. She also supports people dealing with parenting challenges, caregiver stress, and communication problems.
Shannon uses a client-centered and solution-focused stance. She listens for what matters most and helps people set clear, realistic goals. Sessions focus on practical steps clients can use between appointments. That can mean practicing new ways to speak up, pacing emotional reactions, or making a plan to reduce substance use triggers.
Her toolbox includes cognitive behavioral strategies, motivational interviewing, dialectical behavior techniques, and mindfulness practices. These methods are used to spot unhelpful patterns, test small behavior changes, and strengthen coping skills. She works with clients to build self-esteem, confidence, and better relationship habits.
Shannon pays attention to a person’s whole situation when designing a plan. That can include current stressors, family history, and co-occurring issues such as ADHD or bipolar mood shifts. The goal is to create steps that fit daily life and feel doable.
People who come for help with anger often focus on communication skills and impulse management. Others want support after loss, separation, or during recovery from substance use. Shannon invites practical problem solving and steady skill practice as the main tools for change.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building goals that matter to the person. It helps clarify what a client wants to change and keeps sessions focused on practical next steps. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and uses exercises to test new habits and reactions. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) adds skills for managing strong emotions, improving distress tolerance, and handling tense interactions.Choosing the right mix of methods is part of the process. Shannon collaborates with each client to decide which approaches fit their goals and lifestyle. That may mean starting with short behavioral experiments, then adding mindfulness or DBT skills as needed.
Session formats are not specified in the original profile, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. These practical benefits help people try new skills more consistently and keep therapy working around work, caregiving, and other commitments.
