About Shano
Dr. Shano Palovich Rodgers is a California licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) with 18 years of clinical experience. She focuses on trauma and abuse, grief, parenting, compassion fatigue, stress and anxiety, relationship and family concerns, anger, self-esteem, career issues, bipolar disorder, depression, coping with life changes, and ADHD. Sessions are conducted in English and she does not accept international clients.
Rodgers draws on practical therapies such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Narrative Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Trauma-Focused Therapy. She frames therapy as collaborative work. She helps people set goals, identify patterns that get in the way, and try small changes to test what works. Sessions move at the client's pace and emphasize clear, usable strategies.
Her background includes long experience in child welfare, adoption and foster care work, and positions addressing first responder issues and hospice and end-of-life counseling. She has also supported people facing workplace stress and career transitions. That history shapes how she recognizes stress and secondary trauma in clients and caregivers.
In practice she blends short-term problem-solving with attention to personal stories and trauma responses. That means a mix of thinking-focused work, motivational conversations, and narrative techniques to reframe difficult experiences. Many clients use this mix to manage anxiety, process grief, handle parenting challenges, and address trauma reactions.

How her approaches translate to online work
CBT focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. In sessions clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns, test new behaviors, and use concrete homework to track change; this approach often helps with anxiety, depression, and stress. Narrative Therapy looks at the stories people tell about themselves and their relationships. It helps people separate problems from identity and find alternative, less limiting narratives.Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will discuss goals, past attempts, and preferences, then try methods that fit. That may mean emphasizing CBT tasks for symptom relief, using motivational interviewing to build readiness, or working through trauma-focused techniques when needed. Adjustments are made as work progresses so the plan responds to what helps most.
The biography does not list specific session formats here, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make scheduling easier and help fit sessions into busy lives. It can also allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, reduce travel time, and let clients use approaches such as CBT homework and narrative exercises between meetings. Licensed professionals adapt their methods to a client's routine and goals rather than promising particular outcomes.
