Shannan Katz

Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships

About

I help you weather the storms of change in times of difficulty, stress, and loneliness. I am a listening ear and a sounding board for your thoughts and ideas. As a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor, I will work with you to gain insight into your thoughts and feelings and help you to make progress toward your goals. You can feel free to be yourself and share what is on your mind and in your heart. I have experience working with clients struggling with a wide variety of mental health concerns, including relationship problems and difficult life transitions. Clients who simply wish to improve their communication skills and mental wellness are welcome as well. I have a post-graduate certificate in sex therapy and I welcome clients from the LGBTQIA community, as well as any clients who wish to discuss their sexuality in counseling. I use a heart-centered approach in therapy and aim to provide a kind and supportive environment free from judgment and censorship. If you prefer a more direct approach, I am glad to give structured feedback as well. I will work with you to make the changes you want a reality.
Please note that I am NOT a crisis counselor and the modality I use is not a good fit for clients struggling with self-harm or suicidal urges or behavior. I usually have an initial session by video and then most follow-up sessions are by phone. Please feel free to let me know if you have any questions.

With 11 years of clinical experience, Shannan approaches therapy with a heart-centered style that emphasizes kindness and nonjudgmental support, while also offering structured feedback when a more direct approach is preferred.

Shannan has experience helping people with a wide range of concerns, including stress and anxiety, relationship and intimacy issues, depression, addictions, family conflict, trauma and abuse, grief, eating and sleeping disorders, parenting and career challenges, bipolar disorder, anger management, self-esteem, and coping with life changes. She also provides coaching and support for compassion fatigue.

She is licensed as a professional clinical counselor in California and as a mental health counselor in Massachusetts, and she practices from Ohio.

Is Online Therapy the Right Step Toward Better Mental Health?

Many people wonder whether meeting with a therapist online can truly help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, or managing life transitions, online therapy has been shown to be comparable in effectiveness to traditional in-person care.

One major benefit is flexibility – clients can connect in the format that fits their life best, whether by video call, phone session, live chat, or in-app messaging. That flexibility makes it simpler to attend appointments and maintain continuity of care.

Sessions are provided by licensed professionals, and you have the option to change therapists at any time if you want a different match. For many people, online therapy offers an accessible and practical way to pursue mental wellness and work through everyday challenges with professional support.
