About Shannon
LCSW Shannon Seminario has five years of clinical experience and practices in Pennsylvania. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, self-esteem, and depression. Shannon also addresses attachment and abandonment issues, blended family challenges, substance use concerns, and body image and codependency issues.
Shannon works with adults and has experience in mental health and substance use treatment settings. She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and draws on methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, trauma-informed care, mindfulness practices, and person-centered interventions. She can include Christian faith and spirituality in sessions when a client requests it.
In sessions she helps people name the problems that feel most urgent, build practical coping strategies, and increase emotional awareness. Conversations can cover communication problems, control or dependence patterns, family of origin issues, and recovery supports for drug and alcohol concerns. She also addresses grief, shame, guilt, and questions around forgiveness.
Shannon emphasizes a collaborative, strengths-focused approach. Together with each client she sets concrete goals and works toward everyday skills that support those goals. Therapy includes talk, behavioral strategies, and skill practice relevant to daily life.
For people seeking faith-informed care, she can integrate spiritual perspectives into clinical work when asked. Prospective clients should confirm current session formats and scheduling options before booking.

How her evidence-based approaches translate to online care
Many of the techniques Shannon uses can be explained plainly and practiced in conversation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors; it helps with anxiety, low mood, and stress by giving concrete steps to change patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy teaches emotion regulation and distress-tolerance skills; it is useful when strong feelings or impulsive reactions get in the way of daily life. Motivational Interviewing is a brief, goal-focused style that helps people explore ambivalence and strengthen commitment to change, often used in substance use or behavior-change work.Figuring out the right approach is part of the work. She treats the choice of methods as collaborative and will help clients decide which techniques fit their goals and preferences. That may mean trying a skill-based method for a few sessions or combining approaches based on what progresses treatment.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a workday, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. These practical benefits help people maintain consistency with learning and practicing skills between sessions.
