About Shannon

Shannon Gollner is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who has built a nearly two-decade career supporting people through stress, anxiety, grief, anger, and struggles with self-esteem and motivation. Licensed in both Alaska and Kentucky, she brings 19 years of professional experience to work that centers on practical strengths and gradual progress. Shannon emphasizes that each person is the expert of their own life and draws on that perspective to help clients identify resources they already have and develop new skills to meet challenges.

Her practice addresses a range of concerns including depression, attachment and relationship issues, blended family dynamics, caregiver stress, codependency, and complications related to infidelity, jealousy, and isolation. She also works with mood and obsessive-compulsive concerns, as well as issues that arise during midlife transitions and non-monogamous relationship arrangements. Shannon approaches these topics with an aim to empower clients, building confidence and motivation while honoring the courage it takes to pursue change.

Shannon provides empathetic, evidence-informed care focused on collaborative problem solving and skill-building. She is not currently accepting new clients.

Evidence-based approaches adapted for online care

Shannon uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on practical skill development and emotional processing. One approach emphasizes skill-building for stress and anxiety, teaching breathing, grounding, and thought-management strategies that help people cope day to day and interrupt cycles of worry. A second approach centers on grief-focused support, helping clients navigate loss through validation, meaning-making, and pacing to rebuild routines and hope. A third emphasis is attachment-informed work, which explores relationship patterns and communication to improve connection and reduce conflict.



Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Shannon works with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences, and then tailors interventions so therapy feels relevant and manageable rather than prescriptive.



Online sessions offer practical benefits for people balancing busy lives or limited local options. Shannon’s practice supports video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility in how and when people access care. These options make it easier to fit sessions into daily schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and receive consistent support from licensed professionals without added travel time.
