About Shantel
Shantel Farrow is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) based in Oklahoma who helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship strain, and codependency. She focuses on practical steps that make everyday life feel more manageable. Shantel wants to help people find clearer ways to cope, set boundaries, and reconnect with what matters to them.
Shantel uses a person-centered approach that keeps the client's goals in focus. She combines attachment-based ideas with cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness to address patterns that cause repeated pain. EMDR is also part of the toolkit she may draw on for processing traumatic memories.
Sessions emphasize simple, actionable strategies. Shantel works with people on coping skills, communication habits, and self-esteem so they can try different ways of relating and recover from past hurts. She also supports those dealing with grief, addiction concerns, sleep or eating disruptions, and major life changes.
Her background includes eight years of clinical experience in the Oklahoma area as an LMFT. That experience informs a direct yet compassionate style that balances reflection with concrete steps. She encourages clients to move at a manageable pace while learning skills they can use between sessions.
People who choose her often want a therapist who listens first, then helps build practical plans. If someone is exploring parenting strain, caregiving stress, attachment issues, or recovery from trauma, she offers a steady, collaborative presence to help navigate those challenges.
How therapeutic approaches shape online work
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. In brief online sessions this can mean noticing how people relate now and practicing new, more helpful ways to connect. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior; it uses short exercises and experiments that translate well to remote sessions and daily life. EMDR helps process distressing memories by using structured sets of attention and reflection, which some clients find helpful for trauma-related symptoms.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to the client's goals and try different methods to see what fits. Decisions about which approach to use are made together and adjusted over time as needs and preferences become clearer.
