Shannon Seminario, MSW, LCSW About Me Life can be overwhelming, especially when you're carrying the weight of trauma, anxiety, relationship challenges, grief, parenting stress, or major life transitions. My goal is to provide a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you can feel heard, understood, and empowered to move toward healing and growth. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with experience working with adolescents, adults, and families in both mental health and substance use treatment settings. Throughout my career, I have supported individuals navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, emotional dysregulation, relationship difficulties, grief and loss, low self-esteem, and life transitions. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and strengths-based. I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), trauma-informed care, mindfulness practices, and person-centered interventions. I believe that every person possesses unique strengths and resilience, even during life's most difficult seasons. As a clinician, I strive to create an environment where clients feel genuinely accepted and understood. Together, we will identify obstacles, develop practical coping strategies, build emotional awareness, and work toward meaningful goals that align with your values and vision for your life. For clients who desire it, I am comfortable integrating Christian faith and spirituality into the therapeutic process. I believe emotional, relational, and spiritual wellness can work together to support lasting healing and transformation. Areas of Focus Anxiety and stress management Depression and mood concerns Trauma and PTSD Addiction and recovery Women's issues Pregnancy and postpartum adjustment Parenting support Relationship challenges Grief and loss Life transitions Emotional regulation Self-esteem and identity development Faith-based counseling What You Can Expect My therapeutic style is warm, authentic, and encouraging. I believe therapy should be a partnership where you feel empowered to explore your experiences, gain insight, and develop practical tools for everyday life. Whether you are facing a specific challenge or simply feeling stuck, I am honored to walk alongside you in your journey toward healing, hope, and wholeness. Seeking support is a courageous step, and I look forward to helping you create meaningful change in your life.

03 · What happens next
Shannon practises through BetterHelp, so the route in is BetterHelp's. This is that sequence, written by Maker Therapy from the platform's published process - not a description of Shannon's own practice, and not a promise about how quickly anything happens.
BetterHelp opens with a set of questions about what you are dealing with, what you want from therapy, and any preferences on the therapist. You are not booking Shannon at this point.
BetterHelp matches algorithmically by default, so asking for Shannon is a step you have to take. There is a field for requesting a specific therapist during sign-up, and you can switch afterwards from your account. Starting from a link on this page does not by itself assign you to Shannon.
You will be offered somebody else rather than put on a waitlist. Worth knowing, because it is easy to assume a match is the person you asked for.
A first session is typically history and orientation: what brought you, what has been tried, what you want to be different. It is also where the questions in the next section belong.
Changing therapist on BetterHelp does not need a reason. A first session that does not click is common and is not a verdict on therapy. That option existing is the main practical difference between a platform and a private practice.
