Shannan Katz helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, and life changes.
01About Shannan
Shannan Katz helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, and life changes. She offers a calm, listening presence and practical guidance for everyday struggles. As an LMHC, LPCC (Master of Arts, Licensed Mental Health Counselor; Ohio Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor), she works to understand how thoughts and feelings affect daily life.
She aims to create a warm, nonjudgmental space where clients can speak openly about what matters. Sessions often start with listening and reflection, then move toward concrete steps people can try between meetings.
Background and approach
Shannan balances a heart-centered style with direct feedback when that fits a person's needs. Her experience includes support for depression, grief, trauma, addictions, intimacy and sexual concerns, and stress related to parenting and career. She also welcomes conversations about sexuality and works with people from the LGBTQIA community.
Shannan has a post-graduate certificate in sex therapy and addresses topics like body image, kink and alternative sex culture when clients bring them up. In practice she uses tools from client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused work. That mix helps people change unhelpful patterns, improve communication, and manage strong emotions.
Shannan typically begins with a video intake and then does most follow-up sessions by phone. She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Her approach is collaborative and focused on realistic steps clients can take to feel better.

04Online support
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on clear listening and empathy. It helps people feel heard and gain insight into their thoughts and feelings so they can decide what changes matter to them. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors keep problems going and teaches practical skills to shift them, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) adds skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships, often through step-by-step practices that people can try between sessions.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then suggest methods to try. That collaborative planning can change over time as someone notices what helps and what does not.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people use visual cues for a fuller conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for shorter follow-ups. Live chat and text can fit a quick check-in, ongoing coaching, or moments when writing feels more natural. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy days and different routines.
