About Shannon
Shannon Mannino is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Pennsylvania who helps people facing anxiety, stress, depression, ADHD, and relationship strain. She often works with young adults and adolescents and focuses on helping people feel steadier in day-to-day life. Shannon aims to create a calm, respectful space where clients can talk through what is hard and build practical coping skills.
Shannon uses a few evidence-based approaches to guide sessions. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thinking and try different ways of responding. She also uses Solution-Focused Brief Counseling to set clear goals and identify small steps that make a difference quickly.
Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction techniques are part of the work when people want tools to lower anxiety in the moment. Positive psychology ideas help people notice strengths and small gains. She also integrates faith-informed interventions when that matches a client's values and preferences.
Shannon emphasizes collaboration. She and the client set goals together, try strategies in real life, and adjust plans as needed. She helps people build routines, improve communication, and manage overwhelming feelings like panic or shame.
Her experience includes eight years of practice as an LPC in Pennsylvania. The pace and focus of sessions are tailored to each person, with attention to clear steps and everyday strategies rather than abstract theory.
Approaches and online care that focus on practical change
Shannon often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which helps people notice thoughts and behaviors that feed anxiety and then try specific alternative responses. This approach can help with panic attacks, social anxiety, and repetitive negative thinking.She also draws on mindfulness-based stress reduction to teach simple practices for grounding and calming the body during high anxiety. Those tools aim to reduce immediate distress and improve day-to-day tolerance for uncomfortable feelings.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Shannon works with each person to match methods to their goals, values, and what feels useful in real life. She adjusts techniques over time based on what helps most.
