About Shanna
Shanna Downing is a licensed clinical social worker who centers sessions on what the person in front of her needs. She draws from client-centered work to listen and respond with respect and compassion. Shanna helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, career challenges, depression, and major life changes.
Shanna holds an LCSW and has 13 years of clinical experience. She tailors conversations and treatment plans to each person's situation rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach. Her style is practical and straightforward, focusing on things people can use between sessions.
She uses a mix of approaches including cognitive behavioral ideas, mindfulness practices, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused techniques. Those methods are applied in ways that fit individual goals, whether someone is coping with grief or managing day-to-day stress at work.
Shanna also has experience with hospice and end-of-life counseling and brings that background into sensitive conversations about loss and planning. She aims to make hard discussions manageable and to help people find ways to carry on with more clarity.
Taking the first step can feel hard, and Shanna offers steady support while people decide what change looks like for them. She works in Utah and conducts sessions in English.
