About Bobbie

Bobbie Shannon is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in South Carolina and a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in North Carolina with 35 years of experience. She works with adults who are managing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, and relationship problems. She also addresses codependency, communication problems, parenting strain, and issues that affect self-esteem and intimacy.

Her style is direct and interactive. She invites people to talk through what is happening and to try concrete steps in sessions. She listens for patterns such as people-pleasing, trouble saying no, or getting lost in someone else’s needs, and she helps people notice those patterns without blame.

Bobbie draws on Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), Mindfulness Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy. In practice that means she uses focused questions, short experiments to test new ways of behaving, emotion-focused conversation for relationship issues, and mindfulness skills to reduce reactivity.

Sessions tend to be practical and goal-oriented. People work on clearer boundaries, better communication, and coping skills for anxiety or grief. She also supports people facing life changes such as separation, parenting challenges, or recovery from trauma.

Her long experience includes work in both mental health facilities and private practice. The focus is on helping people recognize patterns that keep them stuck and on trying small, doable changes to regain more control over daily life.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what a person is saying so they can notice their own answers. Online sessions use that conversational work to clarify values, boundaries, and relationship goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) aims to identify unhelpful thoughts and try small behavioral experiments. In tele-sessions this often means setting short tasks between meetings and reviewing what changed. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people understand and express their feelings in relationships to shift interaction patterns, and that emotion-focused conversation adapts to video or phone formats.

Finding the best approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences and then try strategies that fit those aims. Sessions can shift between listening, skills practice, and targeted exercises based on what is helping most.

The therapist's session formats are not specified here, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or reduce travel time. Licensed professionals can use video or phone for focused CBT tasks, emotion-focused conversations, and mindfulness exercises, which can help people practice new responses in everyday life.
