About Shantel
Shantel Farrow is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) practicing in Oklahoma. She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, relationship strain, sleep problems, grief, or life transitions. Her style is warm and straightforward, aimed at helping clients find usable steps they can try between sessions.
Shantel draws on several approaches to tailor care to each person. She uses attachment-based ideas to understand relationship patterns and client-centered listening to make space for each person's story. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) are also part of her work when addressing trauma, mood challenges, or persistent anxiety.
In sessions she focuses on practical skills and small changes that add up. That can include routines to improve sleep, techniques to manage worry, or ways to set healthier boundaries in relationships. She aims to make the process clear and manageable instead of overwhelming.
Shantel has eight years of clinical experience and brings attention to how culture and identity shape a person’s struggles. She supports people dealing with addiction, ADHD, bipolar concerns, caregiving stress, body image worries, and many other issues listed in her specialties.
To begin she asks people to describe their main concern and goals. From there she and the client map out a plan that fits daily life and personal values.
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps people understand trust, closeness, and why certain relationship reactions repeat. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s experience and relies on active listening and empathy to help someone feel heard and decide on the next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavioral changes to reduce anxiety, improve mood, or change sleep habits.Choosing the right approach is a joint process. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and suggest approaches to try. Plans can change over time as progress and priorities become clearer, and the work is adjusted together.
Practical benefits of online therapy include easier fitting of sessions into a busy week and keeping momentum between appointments. If you need to coordinate across time zones as an international client, note that scheduling can be arranged accordingly. The original profile does not specify which session formats are offered, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it simpler to try short check-ins, focus on building sleep routines, practice CBT exercises between sessions, or pursue trauma processing with EMDR-informed methods when appropriate.
