Shannon Rosenbauer, LCSW-C

Shannon Rosenbauer is a licensed clinical social worker in Maryland with 12 years of experience. She creates a welcoming space where people can talk about difficult feelings without judgment. Shannon encourages small steps and practical goals to help clients feel more capable and confident.

She often helps people dealing with grief and loss and those facing chronic or life-threatening illness such as cancer, sickle cell disease, diabetes, or HIV. She also supports people working through relationship and family concerns, changes in life circumstances, and struggles with stress, anxiety, or depression. Jealousy is one of the relationship concerns she lists among her focus areas.

Her work emphasizes listening and collaboration. Sessions focus on the person in front of her, their values, and what they want to change. Shannon mixes talk and concrete strategies so progress can be noticed between meetings.

She draws on several therapy styles, including client-centered approaches, cognitive behavioral techniques, and mindfulness practices. Those methods are used to help with mood, behavior patterns, and daily stress management. Motivational interviewing and psychodynamic ideas also appear when helpful for exploring motivation and past influences.

Shannon works in Maryland and provides services in English. She uses a subscription model for sessions that can be canceled at any time. To begin, a prospective client completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules based on the therapist's availability.

How therapy approaches translate to online care

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening closely and following the client's lead. The therapist offers empathy and reflection so people can clarify what matters to them and decide on next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors to change mood and reactions. It is useful for anxiety, low mood, and coping with stress. Mindfulness therapy brings attention to the present moment through simple awareness exercises. It can reduce reactivity and help with worry and emotional ups and downs.

Finding the best approach is usually a joint process. The therapist will talk with a client about goals and preferences, and then try methods that match those aims. Adjustments are made over time so the work fits the person's needs and pace rather than following a preset plan.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since formats are not specified here. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, require less travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when that helps. Ask about the current session options and scheduling when completing the matching questionnaire so sessions can be arranged in a way that works with daily routines.
