Shannon Tarolli

Shannon Tarolli is a Licensed Professional Counselor of Mental Health (LPC-MH) in Delaware with 10 years of practice. She supports people coping with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, grief, and major life changes. Her approach is practical and down-to-earth, aimed at helping clients find clearer footing when life feels overwhelming.

Shannon works with teens and adults who face generalized anxiety, panic, separation anxiety, specific phobias, obsessive-compulsive patterns, body-focused repetitive behaviors, depression, and grief. She also has experience with ADHD, mood and personality concerns, and relational difficulties. Women's issues are listed among her focus areas, and she brings that into sessions when relevant to a person’s goals.

Her work blends several therapeutic methods to match what each person needs. She uses strategies from cognitive behavioral therapy to address unhelpful thinking and behavior. She draws on acceptance and commitment ideas to help people clarify values and take action that matters to them.

Shannon also uses eye movement desensitization and reprocessing for people processing trauma, as well as client-centered and psychodynamic approaches when exploring personal history and relationships. Sessions tend to be collaborative and goal-oriented, with an emphasis on small, doable steps.

How common therapy approaches look online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choosing actions that align with personal values. It can help with anxiety, stress, and finding direction after life changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses practical techniques to change patterns that cause distress. It is commonly used for anxiety, panic, OCD, and mood concerns.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) helps people process traumatic memories in a way that can reduce their emotional intensity. It is often used when trauma or abuse is a central concern.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That process can include trying different techniques and adjusting the plan as progress is made.

If you plan to pursue online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a day, cut travel time, or use shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Some approaches translate well to remote work, and therapists can adapt exercises so they work over video or phone when those formats are available.
