More about Shannon
- 7 years' experience
- Female
- LMHC
I have had seven years of counseling experience working with children, adolescents and adults in individual, group and family sessions utilizing evidence-based practices. I have also provided faith-based services for clients wanting to integrate their Christian faith into their counseling. I completed my Masters of Arts in Counseling at Western Seminary, in Portland, Oregon, where I received Bible and Theology courses in addition to my counseling courses, as well as specialized courses in how to integrate faith into a counseling setting. I also have a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Central Washington University.
I have received training in Cognitive Behavior Therapy Plus, Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Cognitive Processing Therapy along with many workshops and trainings for continuing education with depression, anxiety and trauma. I have an additional special interest in early life and family of origin, and how these early experiences and relationships can affect us throughout our lives-- the modality I often use in exploring this is Schema Therapy.
I would be honored to walk alongside you and support you in your life.
Thank you!

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.
- Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

She is great!
Shannon Gaskell is a wonderful therapist. She has helped me become a better me.
I feel I got lucky with getting Shannon as a therapist. She's incredibly encouraging, understanding, and kind. I didn't know what to expect getting therapy, but I discovered more about myself than I ever anticipated, and Shannon has been instrumental in my journey to mental health.
So far Shannon Gaskell has been an excellent Therapist. I really like the type of therapy she offers.
Shannon is a kind and centered person. She provides practical strategies to make sense of complicated relationships. I feel a relief and clarity after every session.
Shannon has been very helpful.
I’m really happy that I have Shannon in my life! I was worried getting matched online as I’ve only done therapy before in person. She’s respectful, validating, and really supportive. She genuinely cares about people and it shows
She is lovely. She offers support and encouragement when needed. Is insightful and helpful in brainstorming as well. No pressure in any of the “assignments” given. Knowledgeable and just seems to know the right thing to say at the right time.
She is great
Found time to help me even on her busiest days. Remembered what we had talked about, and made me feel heard.
I haven't been at it long, but I'm already grateful to Shannon for her affirmation and insight. I have felt a difference in myself already as I've processed and understood my feelings better. She asks great questions that have been super helpful! I've loved my experience with her so far.
She is great. My children already notice a difference in me. :)
Shannon has such a kind way about her - I instantly felt like I could be honest with her. I also appreciated the insight that she offered. She was able to change my perspective on my situation in one session.
I've only talked to Shannon a few times but I feel like she actually listens to me and is giving me feedback that will actually help me. The last person I spoke to, only seemed to sit there and take in my one-woman show and laugh at my stories, and not really give me much to work with. It could be the format of BetterHelp, but I honestly do like Shannon and hope she will continue to help me better myself.
