Shannon Sartori, LCSW

Shannon Sartori is an LCSW practicing in Oklahoma with two decades of experience in clinical settings. She takes a calm, warm approach and focuses on practical changes in thoughts and everyday habits to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and related concerns. Shannon emphasizes building on strengths so people can handle problems more confidently.

She has worked in youth and family centers and provided in-school therapy coordination. Shannon has experience managing Victims of Crime Act programs and working with court and prison systems. That breadth of settings informs how she adapts care to different life situations.

Shannon has performed assessments and referrals for individuals with serious mental illness and maintained a private practice. These roles shaped her skills in matching services to needs and helping people find the right supports. Her focus areas include relationship issues, trauma and abuse, addictions, and grief among others.

In sessions she uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, aiming to link thoughts, habits, and feelings to practical steps people can take. She also brings elements of psychodynamic thinking and an empowerment-oriented attitude to help people notice strengths and apply them in daily life.

Shannon works with a wide range of concerns such as ADHD, first responder issues, gender dysphoria, HIV/AIDS, hoarding, parenting stress, eating and sleeping difficulties, and compassion fatigue. She invites people to begin by identifying immediate problems and then building steady routines that fit their day-to-day life.

How CBT and practical approaches work in online therapy

Shannon uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and habits and then try small, realistic changes. CBT focuses on where thoughts, actions, and feelings meet, which can help with anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and managing everyday stress.

She also draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns that repeat over time and an empowerment approach that highlights personal strengths. These approaches are explained plainly and used together to shape short-term goals and everyday habits that fit each person's life.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist and client will talk about needs, goals, and preferences and adjust methods over time. That collaboration helps choose techniques that feel useful and doable for the person in their daily routine.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so check the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals can use these benefits to help clients practice new habits between meetings and track progress over time.
