Do you find yourself battling feelings of hopelessness? Are you overwhelmed or facing anxiety due to the matters of your life? Are you doubting yourself? I am here to help you. My name is Shannon Gooch and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor. I have extensive experience working with adults, families, at risk youth and adolescents. I have earned a Bachelor's Degree in Psychology and a Master's Degree in Professional Counseling. My love for working with people and families in crisis has led me to practice as a counselor.
My experience as a wife and mother has helped me become more relatable. Working in various practice settings has led me to be detail oriented, forward- thinking, and thorough. I strive to provide the same level of service to my clients as I would expect for myself. I am well versed in my profession and take pride in my work. I specialize in complex trauma, depression, stress, anxiety, social skills training and behavior management. My experiences have allowed me to develop a greater appreciation for helping others define their meaning of life and identify purpose.
My approach incorporates assessing the concern and locating practical strategies to empower you to manage your issues. I am focused on helping you adopt skills for self-discovery and development while maintaining success. My approaches are Cognitive Behavior Therapy and Solution Focused. My goal is to teach you to (A) control irrational thoughts (B) identify the true issues and (C) empower you to identify practical solutions. If irrational thoughts are managed it becomes easier to problem-solve and address the issues. I view counseling as an instrumental tool in helping others become aware of their thoughts, find solutions to their issues and self-regulate their mood.
I am looking forward to partnering with you to help you find solutions.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

So grateful to have had Shannon as a therapist, really felt heard and understood by her. She is so sweet and gifted at what she does and helped me so much throughout my healing journey.
She is wonderful at what she does. Truly gifted
Shannon is kind and very patient. She knows when to give room for self evaluation and when to step in with suggestions to ponder. I feel like she is more than a counselor but a trusted friend.
Shannon’s very responsive and respectful. I feel safe talking to her and she is honest, and trustworthy.
Great!
Shannon is very professional, and she genuinely cares for my well-being. In the months, that I have been in therapy I am more confident in communicating with others and it is due to her candor and forthrightness in providing me feedback. I am very happy with my decision to enter into Therapy because of Shannon.
I love my sessions with Mrs. Gooch. She is amazing, and so sincere. I appreciate all that she has helped me work through.
Shannon has been a big help to me…She is engaging, respectful and caring. I would I definitely recommend her.
Shannon is a great listener, and her overall demeanor is soothing and pleasant. She holds me accountable while making me feel heard and valued at the same time, and those are amazing qualities in a therapist.
Hi Shannon I just tried to respond to your message please give me a call; you are amazing at what you do thank you for all you have done
Shannon offered some great suggestions for my situation.
Shannon from the beginning was super easy to talk to. She made me feel safe and heard and gave me a different perspective on things I was struggling with. If you got paired with Shannon you'll love her!
Shannon is a great listener and gives wise advice. We are just starting, but I feel comfortable being honest and vulnerable without feeling judged. Highly recommend!
She listens and I never had anybody give the amount of good feedback as much as she do.
Mrs. Shannon Gooch is amazing. I felt comfortable with talking to her from the beginning. I am so glad that I was paired with her. In the short amount of time that I have been working with her, she has helped me see things and work through things that I have been carrying for a long time. I am so grateful for her.
Shannon is the best.
Ms. Gooch has been an incredible help in validating my thought processes as I look to make major life changes. She hears what may not be said and provides excellent options for coping with the challenges I face. I find it very easy to communicate openly with Ms. Gooch. I would recommend Ms. Gooch as a counselor without any reservations.
After only 3 sessions with Shannon, I've discovered so many things about myself that I never would have thought were possible. I'm excited to continue working with her, and really getting the chance to grow as a person with her help.
Ms.Gooch is phenomenal! This was my first time going to therapy and I wouldn’t change my experience at all! She listens, she gives guided counsel and I’m truly thankful for her! Thank you Ms.Gooch for being authentic, understanding, and for giving me a safe space to becoming the best me possible! You rock!!! :)
Shannon is very nice and can relate to my concerns. She listens and doesn't interrupt. Allows me to relay my concerns and gives sound advice. Thank you Shannon for your help.
I've learned a lot about myself with just two sessions with Shannon!
Shannon is very easy to talk to. She listens and tells you exactly what you need to hear, not what you want to hear. She is very understanding and friendly. She has helped me realize issues I was too stubborn to see and has helped me find techniques to express myself better.
Shannon has helped me to focus on the root of issues I’m dealing with, offering great advice. She is an incredible listener and she takes great notes as we often revisit statements I make to dive deeper.
I love Mrs.Gooch! She listens to everything I have to say and helps me find solutions to the problems I have.
I love Shannon! She’s helped a lot in the little time I’ve been using BetterHelp.
Excellent listener. She always has your back.
Shannon is so great. She helped me cope with a lot of stress in my life. She listens to me and really helps me come up with a game plan for improvement.
I've only just started talking with Shannon, but even in our first live session, she was prepared with really helpful tips for dealing with my panic attacks - practices that I've never thought of myself. She's been super helpful.
I havent been speaking to her for long but so far she is way better than one I was going to in person. He would always forget things I mentioned or go off on things about his past I felt had nothing to do with me. She also is very fast at response so far, and tries to contact me to find out how I am doing when I have not written her in awhile.
I like working with Shannon.
I love Ms.Shannon! She has helped me in so many ways! So supportive and encouraging. She has given me the strength and tools for a lot of things I struggle with and I am so thankful for her!
She is really patient and understanding. I love the quick replies!
Shannon was great to work with! She was compassionate and easy to talk to and offered great advice. She helped me look at my situation through a healthier perspective so I could tackle things more effectively.
Mrs. Shannon Gooch was great to me. She listened and actively participated and would reach out very often to see how I was coming along with the work we had been putting in. She invited me to open doors that would discontinue patterns. Great counselor!
Her comments are very thoughtful and well thought out. I love her methods and steps that she gives me to practice with in order to help better myself. I've always been hesitant with counselors but it was very easy for me to be totally open and honest on the spot. I am very grateful for her services as they have been a great help to me.
