About Shannon
Shannon Crandall is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Missouri with seven years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are feeling stuck after changes in work, relationships, health, or parenting. People come to her for help with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship problems, and questions about life purpose.
Shannon uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients notice unhelpful thinking and try different actions. Sessions focus on practical steps clients can use between meetings. She helps people sort priorities, manage mood, and address patterns that keep them feeling stuck.
Her background includes work across clinical settings, which informs how she approaches everyday problems like caregiver stress, parenting strain, and work-related burnout. Shannon also supports people dealing with trauma and addiction concerns, and she has additional focus on adoption and foster care issues.
Conversations often cover concrete topics such as communication problems, isolation and loneliness, and navigating transitions like pregnancy, postpartum, or vocational change. She also addresses mood disorders, ADHD-related struggles, and first responder stress when relevant to a client's situation.
Shannon aims to help clients break down big questions into manageable steps. She asks about goals and routines, suggests small behavioral experiments, and reviews what worked. The approach is straightforward and goal-oriented, with attention to daily life demands and responsibilities.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know how meetings are scheduled. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It can also be helpful when quieter surroundings or lower bandwidth are preferable. Ask about available formats and scheduling when you start the matching process.
