She works with clients who are dealing with trauma, addiction, grief, intimacy issues, ADHD, and self-esteem struggles. Based in Oklahoma, she offers a calm, respectful presence and practical support for people trying to regain balance.
Shantel uses straightforward, person-centered methods that focus on the client's needs. She draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. She also uses cognitive behavioral strategies to help people notice unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors.
Her work includes trauma-focused tools when past events continue to cause distress. She can incorporate EMDR techniques as one way to address memories that interfere with daily life. Shantel also brings existential perspectives when people are wrestling with meaning, purpose, or big life questions.

She frames therapy as a collaborative process and helps people set realistic goals they can use between sessions.
Shantel emphasizes culturally responsive care and tends to people who identify across the LGBT spectrum. She aims to help clients build concrete coping skills, improve communication, and strengthen emotional resilience.
How her approaches translate to online work
Shantel often draws on attachment-based therapy to look at patterns in close relationships and how they affect current feelings and behavior; this can help with intimacy, trust, and communication problems. She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and improve mood. When trauma is a central concern, she may incorporate EMDR-informed strategies to address distressing memories and their effects.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, symptoms, and personal preferences, then suggest which methods to try first. Progress is reviewed together and the plan is adjusted as needed.
Because the original biography does not list specific session formats, confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a workday, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also remove the need to be on camera for those who prefer phone or audio-only conversations depending on what the therapist offers. Overall, online work aims to help clients apply new skills in everyday life and keep momentum between sessions.
