About
Shannon Bode is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in California with 19 years of experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, grief, and self-esteem challenges. She approaches therapy as a healing relationship where clients can feel safe, seen, and genuinely understood, and she draws from a relational, eclectic style to meet each person where they are.
Her work helps clients turn emotional pain into insight and forward movement, with attention to how past experiences can shape present-day patterns. Shannon is particularly focused on supporting clients who want to break generational cycles, build steadiness in a world that often feels chaotic, and reconnect with an inner sense of self that may have been overshadowed by overwhelm, loss, or relational strain.
Shannon’s therapy is trauma-informed, identity-affirming, and anti-racist. She is especially attuned to sensitive individuals navigating intense emotional experiences, and she offers a grounded space to explore concerns such as attachment and abandonment, communication problems, codependency, body image, caregiver stress, divorce and separation, loneliness, guilt and shame, forgiveness, and questions of life purpose.

Therapeutic Approaches That Translate Well to Online Care
Shannon Bode draws from approaches that support meaningful change while staying grounded in the realities of day-to-day life. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a supportive, nonjudgmental relationship where clients can feel understood and empowered to explore stress, anxiety, grief, self-esteem, and relationship concerns at their own pace.Mindfulness Therapy helps clients build steadiness by noticing thoughts, emotions, and body sensations with more clarity and less reactivity. This can be especially helpful when life feels chaotic, when emotions run deep, or when patterns like overwhelm, guilt, or rumination take over. Narrative Therapy offers a way to examine the stories people carry about themselves and their relationships, creating space to loosen the hold of painful patterns and strengthen identity and purpose.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Shannon collaborates with clients to understand what they want from therapy, what has and has not helped before, and what feels most comfortable, then tailors sessions to match their goals and preferences.
Online therapy makes it easier to fit support into a busy life. Clients can meet with Shannon by video calls or phone sessions, and can also use live chat or text-based messaging for added flexibility and continuity between sessions.
