Shannon Bartlett, LCSW

Shannon Bartlett is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people address relationship strain, family conflict, parenting challenges, and anger. She also supports clients dealing with depression, anxiety, stress, grief, self-esteem concerns, career questions, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and trauma and abuse. Shannon presents a straightforward, strengths-focused style and encourages people to build on what already works in their lives.

She believes people are the experts on their own stories and that asking for help is a courageous step. Shannon uses clear, practical conversation to identify small changes that add up over time. Sessions emphasize skills you can try between meetings and realistic goals that fit daily life.

Shannon draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to notice and shift unhelpful thinking patterns. She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to zero in on immediate steps and workable solutions. These approaches are used to address mood concerns, stress, relationship problems, and effects of trauma and abuse.

With seven years of clinical experience and an LCSW credential, she practices in North Carolina. Shannon centers collaboration and respect in sessions and aims to help people feel more steady and purposeful as they move forward.

People who prefer clear tasks, practical tools, and a supportive partner in change may find her approach a good fit. If you want a therapist who focuses on real-life steps and steady progress, Shannon can help you explore next moves.

How cognitive and solution-focused methods translate to online care

Shannon commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try small behavioral shifts. CBT focuses on practical exercises and experiments that address mood, anxiety, and everyday stressors in clear steps.

She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to identify immediate, realistic changes and build on existing strengths. That approach centers on small, concrete goals and on what can work now rather than lengthy problem histories.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Shannon will work with each person to pick methods that match their goals, preferences, and the issues they bring. She collaborates on a plan and adjusts it as progress and needs become clearer.

Session format details are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, avoid travel time, use shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, or choose audio-only options when video isn’t practical. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT and solution-focused work to these kinds of sessions so you can practice skills between meetings and check progress without rearranging your whole day.
