About Bobbie
Bobbie Shannon is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) with 35 years of experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, grief, trauma and abuse, and issues like low self-esteem and codependency. Her approach is straightforward and compassionate, with a focus on practical change and personal insight.
Bobbie meets each person where they are and uses a conversational, interactive style. Sessions are often direct and goal-oriented, while also leaving room for emotion and reflection. She blends different methods to match the needs of the person in front of her rather than sticking to a single formula.
Her work draws on Client-Centered ideas that prioritize the person’s own goals and values. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and Solution-Focused techniques to set clear, achievable steps forward. Mindfulness practices and emotionally-focused ideas are woven in when they help with coping and connection.
Bobbie has practiced in both clinical settings and private practice over several decades. That background informs a pragmatic style that aims to help people find clearer choices and healthier ways of relating. She describes her role as a collaborator who helps clients find answers that feel authentic to them.
She is licensed in North Carolina and South Carolina and conducts work from those professional bases. Prospective clients should confirm current session formats before booking to ensure a good match with their needs.
How therapy approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s goals and values, letting the client guide the pace and topics of sessions. It helps people who want to explore personal meaning and make choices that fit their life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking that keep problems going and teaches concrete skills to change those patterns; it is useful for anxiety, depression, and day-to-day coping. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) emphasizes understanding and reshaping emotional responses to improve relationships and emotional regulation.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will help identify which methods fit a person’s goals, needs, and preferences. This is a collaborative process that can adjust over time as needs change.
Session formats were not listed in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Many people find online therapy helpful because it can fit into work breaks, reduce travel time, and make it easier to keep appointments during busy weeks. Some formats are better for shorter check-ins while others allow longer therapeutic work, so confirming the available session styles will help select the best fit.
