Shannon Crandall

Shannon Crandall, LCSW, offers practical support for people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and parenting challenges. She centers care on clear goals and everyday strategies that make life more manageable. Shannon writes simply and listens carefully so people feel heard and understood from the first session.

She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, helping clients notice patterns in thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. Sessions focus on small, doable changes - new ways of coping, clearer communication, and steps to reduce overwhelm. Shannon also brings experience with addictions, grief, ADHD, and compassion fatigue, and she pays attention to issues that often affect women, like postpartum mood shifts and parenting strain.

Shannon has seven years of experience as a licensed clinical social worker, LCSW, practicing in Missouri. Her background includes work in hospital and community mental health settings, which shapes a practical, problem-solving approach in therapy. Her work with adoption, foster care, caregiver stress, and first responder issues informs how she frames support for complex family situations.

She aims to help people find purpose and regain balance when life feels stuck. Sessions may include skill practice, problem-solving, and relapse prevention for addictive behaviors. Shannon encourages self-compassion and realistic goals so change feels achievable.

Clients should expect a collaborative process that blends evidence-based techniques with everyday language. If you want a therapist who focuses on concrete tools and steady support, Shannon can be a clear voice for navigating hard moments.

How Cognitive Behavioral Tools Translate to Online Care

CBT helps people notice thought patterns that keep stress and anxiety alive, then test and change those thoughts. This approach uses short exercises, behavior experiments, and practice between sessions to reduce symptoms and improve daily routines. It is often used for mood concerns, anxiety, and managing addictive behaviors.

Shannon also applies CBT techniques to parenting and postpartum mood concerns, helping parents develop clearer routines, problem-solving steps, and small changes that reduce overwhelm. For grief and compassion fatigue, she focuses on coping strategies and pacing activities so recovery feels manageable rather than rushed.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. Shannon will work with each person to decide which CBT tools or techniques fit their goals and preferences. Together they set small, achievable goals and adjust methods as progress is made.

It can also help people keep continuity of care when life circumstances change, as therapists and clients adapt schedules and homework to real-world needs.
