Dr. Shannon Holliker, LCSW

Dr. Shannon Holliker uses a mix of client-centered conversation and practical tools to help people manage stress, addiction concerns, parenting challenges, and anxiety. She is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker - LCSW practicing in Florida with 12 years of experience. Her style is direct and supportive, and she encourages honest talk about difficult feelings alongside celebrating small wins.

She believes therapy is a process that does not require you to arrive with a clear plan. Many people find therapy helps them discover related issues they also want to address. In sessions she invites open dialogue about thoughts and feelings that might feel hard to say elsewhere. Work together includes setting clear, trackable goals so progress is visible.

Her background includes a PhD in Public Affairs with a social work focus, a Master of Social Work, and a second master’s in Child Development and Education. That training informs her work with parents, young children, and families coping with stress related to medical issues, developmental concerns, or early childhood behavior.

She offers individual therapy for anxiety, burnout, depression that is focused on practical problem solving, and trauma-related concerns. She also supports parents with anxiety, postpartum challenges, fertility-related stress, and navigating attachment or adoption issues. Her approach blends attachment-based ideas, cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing to match the needs of each person.

Sessions emphasize honest conversation, concrete steps, and regular review of goals. Dr. Holliker works to make therapy feel useful and manageable for people juggling family, work, and health demands.

Approaches that translate to online work

Attachment-based work focuses on relationships and how early patterns shape current reactions; it helps people understand bonds and improve how they connect with others. Client-centered therapy centers the person’s own goals and feelings, giving space for honest talk and self-directed change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches clear skills to shift unhelpful patterns.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the person about goals and preferences, try methods that make sense for those goals, and adjust plans as progress is tracked. Work together means testing what helps and choosing the mix of strategies that fit each individual.

Practical benefits of online therapy often include easier scheduling, less time spent commuting, and the ability to fit sessions into a busy day. If you plan to start, confirm which session formats are offered before booking so you know how sessions are held. Many people find that working with therapists this way makes it simpler to keep regular appointments while juggling family, work, and health responsibilities.
