Shannon Hartman, LCSW

Shannon Hartman is a licensed clinical social worker in California with 15 years of experience. She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and life changes. Her approach treats clients as the experts in their own lives and builds on their existing strengths. Shannon encourages people who are nervous about starting therapy and honors that first step.

Shannon uses practical, down-to-earth methods in sessions. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice what matters most and take values-driven action. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify unhelpful thinking and test new behaviors. Attachment-Based and Client-Centered ideas guide how she listens and responds to relationship wounds and emotional needs.

Sessions focus on clear goals and small, doable steps. She works with people on issues like compassion fatigue, addiction concerns, intimacy challenges, sleep problems, anger, and career stress. Additional focuses include attachment and abandonment issues, caregiver strain, first responder concerns, and end-of-life or hospice related counseling.

Shannon aims to make therapy practical and relatable. Conversations are aimed at building coping skills, improving communication, and finding more meaning in day-to-day life. She helps people weigh options and try new ways of handling old problems.

She practices in California and conducts sessions in English. If you want to explore whether her style fits you, follow the platform steps to match and schedule a session.
