Shannon Talley

Shannon Talley is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Virginia with eight years of clinical experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, mood concerns like depression and bipolar, and difficulties with addiction. She also supports those facing career uncertainty, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting strain, ADHD, and identity concerns such as gender dysphoria. Shannon views each person as the expert of their own story and looks for strengths to build on. She works from a holistic, strengths-based, and attachment-informed perspective. That can mean direct, goal-focused work when someone wants structure and clear next steps. At other times she moves more slowly, offering a calm space to process painful emotions or things a person may not feel ready to share with others. She may invite gentle challenges when stepping outside a comfort zone will help someone gain confidence. The pace and tone of sessions depend on a person’s goals and personality. Her approach blends practical skills and reflection. Sessions may include learning coping tools, practicing new ways of relating, and talking through life decisions. Shannon aims to help people find clearer direction and greater balance in daily life. People looking for help with loneliness, compassion fatigue, hospice and end-of-life concerns, hoarding, or seasonal mood shifts can expect care grounded in real-world steps and steady support.

How therapy approaches shape online care

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early connections influence current relationships and feelings. Online sessions can be a place to notice patterns in close relationships, practice new ways of relating, and build emotional safety. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and working at a person’s pace. In remote sessions this can mean space to reflect, feel heard, and decide next steps without pressure.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, feelings, and what feels most useful. Then they will choose methods that match those needs and adjust as progress and preferences become clearer. This is a collaborative process rather than a fixed plan.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also help people keep momentum between in-person meetings and practice new skills in real life with guidance from a licensed professional.
