About Shannon

Shannon Gutwein is a licensed clinical social worker with 14 years of experience in Wyoming. She focuses on helping people who are feeling overwhelmed by depression, anxiety, relationship struggles, grief, addiction, and major life changes. Shannon aims to make the work feel understandable and doable from the first visit.

She uses a calm, nonjudgmental style and puts the person’s goals first. Sessions often include practical strategies for managing stress, building healthier communication, and addressing patterns that keep problems returning. She pays attention to both immediate coping skills and longer term change.

Shannon draws on several established approaches such as client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, and mindfulness practices. She combines those tools to match what each person needs and prefers. The result is a flexible plan that focuses on real-life problems and steps to feel better.

Many people seek her help for issues like workplace stress, isolation, trauma, intimacy concerns, and caregiver strain. She also supports those navigating addiction, mood instability, and identity or career transitions. Sessions are aimed at helping clients make clearer choices and reduce the daily burden of symptoms.

Her practice is practical and collaborative. Shannon helps clients notice patterns, try new ways of responding, and track what works. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions based on clinician availability.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Shannon uses client-centered techniques and cognitive behavioral tools that fit well with remote sessions. Client-centered work means the therapist focuses on listening, reflecting, and following the client’s lead so people feel heard and supported. Cognitive behavioral work involves identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like low mood and worry.

She also uses elements of dialectical behavior therapy to teach practical skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance when needed. These skills help with intense emotions, relationship conflict, and impulsive reactions, and can be practiced between sessions.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Shannon will talk with each person about goals, try methods that seem likely to help, and adjust the plan as progress is made. Clients and therapist decide together which strategies to emphasize based on symptoms, lifestyle, and what feels useful.

Confirm the available session formats before booking because the biography does not list them. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also lets people practice skills in everyday settings and bring real-life situations into sessions for problem solving.
