About Shannon
Shannon Sartori is an LCSW based in Oklahoma who uses a straightforward, practical approach to therapy. She emphasizes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and a warm, relaxed style to help people sort through stress, anxiety, grief, sleep problems and other life issues. Her tone is calm and direct, aimed at people who want clear steps and steady support.
Shannon brings about 20 years of experience in clinical settings. She has worked in youth and family centers, coordinated in-school therapy programs, managed services for victims of crime, and partnered with courts and correctional settings. She has also completed assessments and referrals for people with serious mental illness and maintained a private practice.
In sessions she focuses on identifying useful habits and small changes that make daily life easier. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is often used to spot unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors. She also draws on psychodynamic ideas and empowerment-focused work to help people name strengths and use them more often.
Shannon sees concerns including relationship strain, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, depression, addictions, eating and sleeping difficulties, parenting stress, ADHD and first responder issues. Additional attention is given to gender dysphoria, HIV/AIDS, hoarding, and related challenges.
Her practical approach aims to help people build on what’s already working and create a plan that fits real life. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions based on the therapist’s availability.

These methods are explained simply and used together to match a person’s needs and goals.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Shannon will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their situation and preferences. That means checking in about what feels useful and adjusting strategies as progress is made.
