About Shantel
Shantel Westbrook is a Kansas LCP - Licensed Clinical Professional with 20 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, addictions, self-esteem, coping with life changes, and concerns related to career and ADHD. Sessions are delivered in English and focus on practical steps people can use right away.
Shantel helps people talk through what is getting in the way of everyday functioning. She listens for patterns that increase worry, low mood, or avoidance. From there she offers concrete strategies to manage symptoms and rebuild confidence. Conversations are direct and focused on what a person wants to change next.
Her practice also addresses grief, compassion fatigue, sleep problems, and midlife or life-purpose questions. She supports caregivers, people facing aging and geriatric issues, and those navigating divorce or separation. Drug and alcohol addiction, panic attacks, phobias, and mood disorders are within her stated areas of work.
In sessions she emphasizes practical coaching paired with therapeutic techniques. That can mean setting small goals, trying new behaviors between meetings, and reviewing what helps or hinders progress. People often leave with specific next steps to test in daily life.
Shantel’s approach is straightforward and goal-oriented. She guides conversations toward concrete changes rather than abstract insight alone. To begin, prospective clients follow the site’s matching process and schedule a first session after completing a short questionnaire.
Therapeutic methods and how online sessions work
Shantel uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear skills and practical change. One common approach emphasizes behavioral strategies - identifying small actions to alter routines, improve sleep, reduce avoidance, and build confidence. This helps with anxiety, low mood, and motivation issues.Another approach centers on problem-solving and brief coaching. It breaks larger life changes into manageable steps, sets concrete short-term goals, and reviews what worked between sessions. That method suits people dealing with career transitions, life-purpose questions, or coping with change.
Figuring out which approach fits best is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to match methods to their goals, needs, and preferences rather than assuming one technique will suit everyone.
