Shantel Farrow, LMFT

Shantel Farrow, LMFT, helps people facing anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and life transitions. She aims to make therapy practical and clear so clients can take small steps toward feeling better. She works with concerns like stress, grief, addiction, intimacy issues, and parenting strain. Sessions are offered in English and Shantel accepts international clients.

Shantel uses approaches that focus on attachment, personal meaning, and thinking patterns. She blends client-centered listening with cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, is part of her toolkit for addressing trauma when appropriate.

Her style emphasizes collaboration. Clients set goals and test what works in day-to-day life. She also brings attention to how early relationships influence current patterns, and uses that awareness to rebuild trust in self and others.

With eight years of clinical work in Oklahoma, Shantel has supported people through medical, caregiving, and identity-related challenges. She also addresses concerns such as ADHD, body image, codependency, and chronic pain. Her background includes helping people navigate abandonment, adoption and foster care questions, and blended family issues.

How Shantel’s Approaches Translate to Online Work

Shantel draws on Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people build more steady ways of relating. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so clients feel heard and can find their own solutions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and test different behaviors to reduce anxiety or depression.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. She will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels useful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust them as progress is made.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the specific session options before booking since formats were not listed in the biography. Many people appreciate that online work can fit into busy schedules, let them check in during a work break, or make follow-up sessions easier after a major life event. Online sessions can also allow focused check-ins, homework review, and guided exercises just like in-person work, while keeping scheduling flexible to match everyday life.
