01About Shanna
Shanna Scott is a licensed professional counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression, and major life changes.

She has 12 years of experience working in Colorado, including six years with a criminal justice mental health team.
Background and approach
That work involved supporting adults with complex, overlapping concerns such as mood disorders, trauma, addiction, and co-morbid conditions. She often combined case management with skill-building and coping strategies to address immediate needs and longer-term recovery. Her style is collaborative.
She emphasizes open communication and building rapport, then co-creates a plan that matches a person's goals. She frames clients as the experts on their own lives and focuses on discovering strengths that can help them change difficult patterns. Shanna uses an eclectic mix of proven methods, drawing from approaches like cognitive behavioral strategies, acceptance-based work, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused techniques.
She adapts tools based on what a person needs and where they are in their journey. The emphasis is on useful, understandable strategies rather than jargon. People who prefer straightforward, goal-oriented work may find her approach helpful.
She centers each session on practical steps, coping skills, and clearer direction so people can carry progress into daily life.

Practical therapy approaches and online access
Shanna uses a few evidence-based techniques to help people manage symptoms and make changes. Cognitive behavioral approaches focus on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new ways of thinking and behaving to reduce symptoms like anxiety and low mood. Acceptance-based work, such as Acceptance and Commitment principles, teaches people to notice difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that match their values and long-term goals. Motivational interviewing is used to strengthen a person's own reasons for change, especially when facing ambivalence about addictive behaviors or life changes.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your concerns, discuss options, and adapt techniques to match your goals and preferences. That shared plan helps focus sessions on what matters most to you and makes it easier to try new strategies between meetings.
Online formats offered include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a longer session is useful. Phone sessions can work well when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging are useful for shorter exchanges, quick check-ins, or flexibility during a busy day. These options give people more ways to fit therapy into their lives and to continue work even when schedules are tight.
