Shannon Gooch, LPC — Therapist in Texas

Hi there, I'm Shannon!

Deciding to start therapy can feel overwhelming, and I commend your courage to choose yourself. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and am here to partner with you on your healing journey as I utilize my extensive experience working with individuals and families in crisis to help you find your path forward.

My focus

I work with people battling hopelessness, overwhelming situations, anxiety, and self-doubt. Together, we will identify your concerns and formulate an achievable plan for success while addressing social issues, family conflict, self-esteem struggles, and personal obstacles.

My approach

My approach focuses on assessing your concerns and finding practical strategies to empower you. Using Cognitive Behavior Therapy and Solution-Focused methods, I help you control irrational thoughts, identify true issues, and discover practical solutions. Counseling becomes a tool for awareness, problem-solving, and mood regulation.

My communication style

I value open, judgment-free communication. As a careful and empathetic listener, I partner with you to process your issues and formulate obtainable solutions together.

My journey to mental healthcare

My experiences as a wife and mother have made me more relatable, while working in various settings has shaped me to be detail-oriented and thorough. I strive to provide the level of service I would expect for myself, helping others define their meaning of life and identify purpose.

My goals for you

I view therapy as a tool to help you reach measurable goals. Together, we will identify your concerns and discover solutions or coping mechanisms relevant to your life as you grow and learn in new ways.

Our first session

Our first session may feel a little awkward, and that is normal. We will get to know each other and begin exploring why you chose therapy. From there, we will lay the framework of your treatment plan, which will evolve as you progress. I am here to guide and assist you through each step.
