About Shannon
Dr. Shannon Hunter is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) in Texas with 19 years of clinical experience. She combines evidence-based talk therapy with psychoeducation to help people identify coping strategies and skills that reduce daily stressors and symptoms. She lists concerns such as anxiety, depression, relationship issues, family matters, grief, addiction, ADHD, and intimacy-related problems among her focus areas.
Hunter trained in both education and mental health counseling, holding multiple degrees including a doctorate in educational psychology. Her background includes work in private practice, community clinics, integrated health settings, state facilities, and university campuses. Those varied roles inform how she structures sessions and sets practical goals.
In sessions she uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) alongside mindfulness and other approaches. She blends teaching about symptoms with conversations aimed at changing behaviors and patterns that cause repeated problems. That combination is meant to produce concrete skills to use between meetings.
People who want to address family of origin patterns, attachment concerns, abandonment or blended family issues will find these topics listed among her areas of focus. She also works with caregiving stress, chronic illness, body image, and sexual minority issues including LGBT concerns and kink-friendly topics.

How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing unhelpful thoughts and choosing actions that reflect personal values. It can help when people want tools to handle difficult feelings and stay focused on what matters. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns influence current bonds and closeness issues. It is useful for people who want to understand family of origin dynamics and attachment concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches clear steps to change patterns. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and stress management.Figuring out which approach fits best is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and day-to-day concerns and help decide whether ACT, attachment work, CBT, or a mix will be most helpful. That decision is made together and can be adjusted over time based on progress and feedback.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. Many people find remote meetings let them practice skills in real-life settings and follow up on homework between visits. Licensed professionals often adapt exercises, worksheets, and mindfulness practices to work well when sessions are not in person.
