01About Shiann
Shiann McCollough offers individual therapy focused on depression, anxiety, and life's big transitions. She is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and works to make sessions feel calm and respectful. Clients can expect a collaborative approach where their concerns guide the work.
She uses practical, evidence-based techniques to help people spot unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors. Sessions often include short skill-building exercises and conversations about patterns in thoughts, feelings, and relationships.
Background and approach
The goal is to leave each meeting with something usable for daily life. Shiann pays attention to cultural background and to how identity shapes experience. She adapts language and pacing to match each person's needs and values.
That means therapy looks different depending on what a person brings in and what they want to change. Common topics she addresses include stress, self-esteem, relationship concerns, attachment questions, guilt and shame, workplace strain, and feeling isolated or stuck. She also helps people manage mood shifts like seasonal patterns and worries tied to discrimination or multicultural stressors.
Her style is warm and nonjudgmental while remaining focused on practical steps. Clients who want clear tools and steady support to handle current problems and plan for a healthier future may find this approach useful.

04Online support
Evidence-based techniques and online care
Shiann integrates proven therapeutic approaches into straightforward work that focuses on current problems and skills. Cognitive-behavioral techniques look at how thoughts and actions affect mood and teach concrete steps to shift unhelpful patterns. This can help with anxiety, low mood, and negative self-talk.Solution-focused methods concentrate on small, achievable changes and on what already works in a person's life. These strategies are useful when someone wants quick, goal-oriented progress and clear next steps. Person-centered work emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship so clients feel heard while they make changes.
Choosing the right mix of approaches is collaborative. The therapist will discuss goals, try different techniques, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. Clients and the therapist decide together which methods fit their needs and preferences.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find that online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow check-ins from work or home when timing is tight. Others prefer in-person contact for longer, deeper work, so discussing practical needs and scheduling during the matching step helps match format to life demands.
