Shannon Tarolli, LPC-MH

Shannon Tarolli is a Licensed Professional Counselor of Mental Health (LPC-MH) practicing in Delaware with 10 years of experience. She helps people who are coping with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, grief, and major life changes. Her work is practical and direct, aimed at finding workable steps that fit each person's life.

Shannon uses approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) alongside client-centered and psychodynamic ideas. She also draws on Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing when trauma memories need a different method. Sessions focus on clear goals, skill building, and making small changes that add up.

Her style is collaborative and down-to-earth. Conversations move from understanding what feels stuck to trying specific strategies. Homework and practice between sessions are common to reinforce what was learned in session.

Shannon has worked with people who experience panic, obsessive thoughts and compulsions, social anxiety, and issues tied to chronic pain or illness. She also supports those dealing with workplace stress, communication problems, forgiveness, and self-worth concerns.

People can expect straightforward explanations and options for care. The emphasis is on helping clients set meaningful goals and taking manageable steps toward them. Shannon encourages people to start where they are and build from there.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Shannon commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and teaches specific skills to change unhelpful patterns. CBT can help with anxiety, panic, obsessive thoughts, and workplace stress by offering clear tools to use in everyday moments.

She also incorporates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which focuses on clarifying personal values and taking meaningful action even when hard emotions are present. ACT is often helpful for people facing chronic pain, grief, or ongoing worry who want to live in line with what matters to them.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Shannon works together with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, comfort level, and life demands. That collaborative planning can include trying one strategy for a few sessions and adjusting based on what helps.

Online therapy offers flexibility in how sessions happen. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be quicker check-ins or a lower-bandwidth option, and live chat or text messaging can be useful for shorter updates or between-session support. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, family, or medical needs while still using CBT, ACT, or other approaches in regular sessions.
