Shannon Crandall

Shannon Crandall is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and feelings of isolation or loneliness. She brings a calm, practical presence to sessions and aims to make conversations feel straightforward and useful. Shannon uses plain language and focused tools so people can try small changes between appointments.

Shannon has seven years of experience as an LCSW working in Missouri. Her background includes work in health and community settings, and she draws on that variety to match strategies to everyday life. She often focuses on how thoughts and behaviors interact when addressing mood, worry, and addictive patterns.

In sessions she uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which means identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing changes through doable behavioral steps. She supports people with parenting strain, caregiver stress, relationship and communication problems, and the challenges that follow trauma or loss. Shannon also works with issues around postpartum changes, seasonal mood shifts, and finding life purpose.

She offers a listening style grounded in empathy and clear problem-solving. Parents and young adults may find her practical tone helpful when juggling work, family, and emotions. Shannon values ongoing learning and brings that curiosity to each person’s goals.

To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to therapist availability. Her practice is based in Missouri and sessions are conducted in English.

How Shannon Uses CBT Online and Finds the Right Fit

Shannon uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to see what helps. CBT can be used for anxiety, depression, mood shifts, and problems like compulsive habits or avoidance.

Her approach emphasizes clear steps and practice between sessions. She works collaboratively to choose techniques that match each person’s needs and goals, and she adjusts plans as progress is reviewed. Finding the best approach is part of the work together rather than a one-time decision.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Licensed professionals can use online conversations to share worksheets, set behavioral experiments, and track changes over time, making goal-focused therapy possible even when meeting remotely.
