About Shannan
Shannan Katz is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor who helps people manage stress, sleep problems, relationship strains, and life transitions. She offers a listening presence and a straightforward, kind approach so clients can talk about what matters to them. People can expect a mix of open conversation and direct feedback when that fits their needs.
She works with a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, addictions, grief, trauma, and issues around intimacy and sexuality. Shannan welcomes people from the LGBTQIA community and those who want to discuss sexuality in counseling. She also supports people facing career shifts, parenting strains, compassion fatigue, and challenges with body image and eating.
Her practice balances heart-centered listening with practical tools. Sessions aim to build clearer communication, increase coping skills, and move toward specific goals the client sets. Shannan notes that her approach is not designed for clients with active self-harm or suicidal behavior and is not a crisis service.
Shannan has eleven years of clinical experience and holds an MA LMHC and an OH LPCC. She typically uses an initial video session, then most follow-up sessions by phone, though she asks clients to confirm current session arrangements before booking.
Shannan practices in Ohio and offers services in English. People who want to begin can use the site to complete a short questionnaire and schedule an initial appointment.
How therapeutic approaches shape online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening without judgment and helping people find their own solutions; it is useful when someone needs support to sort through feelings and choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, behaviors, and feelings connect and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns, which can help with anxiety, sleep troubles, and low mood. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, offers clear skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships, often using short-term tools for crisis moments.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose which methods match their goals, needs, and comfort level. Sessions may blend listening, skills practice, and direct feedback as a team decides what helps most.
Shannan usually holds an initial session by video and most follow-ups by phone, though clients should confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, sleep strategies, and communication practice to an online setting so therapy can slot into everyday life without requiring major schedule changes.
