About Shannon
Shannon Rick is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in New York who helps people handle work and wellbeing concerns along with everyday life stressors. She supports people facing anxiety, depression, substance use challenges, grief, trauma, and relationship strain. Shannon focuses on practical skills like communication, self-esteem, and managing strong emotions so people can move forward with more confidence.
She prefers a client-centered style that starts with what matters most to the person in front of her. Shannon asks questions, listens closely, and collaborates on a plan rather than imposing a rigid approach. Sessions are aimed at small, useful changes that add up over time.
Shannon uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and change patterns that keep problems active. She also draws on motivational interviewing to build people’s own motivation for change and dialectical behavior ideas to teach emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills.
Her work pays attention to family dynamics, blended family issues, caregiver stress, first responder concerns, and co-occurring conditions. She helps people address addiction-related problems, codependency, communication breakdowns, and the ripple effects of trauma or loss.
With four years of clinical experience, Shannon focuses on practical tools and steady progress. If you want to discuss stress, relationships, parenting pressures, or managing mood and attention difficulties, she can help you map out next steps and set achievable goals.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Shannon uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors that keep problems going. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and patterns linked to substance use. She also uses motivational interviewing to strengthen a person’s own reasons for change and to boost readiness for new behaviors.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. She will listen to your goals and preferences, try methods that fit your situation, and adjust the plan as needed. That collaborative process helps identify which techniques feel most useful for your day to day life.
Confirm the specific session formats before booking because the biography does not list them. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also let people try therapy from different locations when that helps them keep appointments and maintain consistent progress.
