About Shannon
LMHC (Licensed Mental Health Counselor) with nine years of clinical experience, licensed in New York and Massachusetts and practicing from New Jersey. Shannon LaTray focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, relationship and family concerns, grief, and self-esteem. She uses Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy.
Shannon frames sessions around practical change. She helps people name what feels overwhelming and then picks small, manageable steps to try between meetings. Conversations are direct and collaborative, with an emphasis on clearer communication, building coping skills, and addressing barriers to daily functioning.
Her work includes support for people dealing with trauma and abuse, addiction and recovery issues, and problems with intimacy or attachment. She also addresses stress linked to parenting, career pressures, sleep and eating concerns, and the ups and downs of mood such as bipolar symptoms.
Shannon uses CBT to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. She draws on EFT when relationship emotions and attachment patterns are central. Motivational Interviewing is used to support readiness for change, especially around substance use and impulsive behaviors.
Sessions often focus on specific problems like communication breakdowns, codependency, isolation, or grief work. She also helps clients navigate life changes such as divorce, blended family adjustments, and career shifts. The emphasis is on practical tools clients can use between sessions.
To begin, prospective clients follow the service's matching flow and schedule a first session. Sessions are conducted in English. Costs vary by location and are billed through a cancelable subscription model.

How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting to help people understand their own goals and motivations. In practice this means sessions center on the client’s perspective and use open conversation to identify priorities and next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and actions and uses exercises and small experiments to change unhelpful patterns; it is helpful for anxiety, depression, and sleep or eating difficulties. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) attends to emotional responses and attachment patterns in relationships and can be useful when problems revolve around intimacy and communication.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Shannon will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit the problem, goals, and preferences, and she will adjust the plan as progress is made. That process is shared and iterative rather than fixed at the first session.
Session formats are not listed in the biography above, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Many people find remote sessions help them keep continuity during life changes while practicing skills in the contexts where they live and work.
