About Carolyn

Carolyn "Kari" Homan Shannon is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and related concerns. She writes in plain terms and focuses on practical ways to reduce emotional load so clients can get back to daily life.

With 18 years of experience in the mental health field, Kari blends approaches that fit each person. She draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) along with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and client-centered work to tailor sessions to the problem at hand.

Background and approach

Her background includes work with people affected by serious trauma, first responder issues, hoarding, chronic pain and illness, and depression. She also addresses concerns such as sleep problems, anger, relationship and family difficulties, compassion fatigue, and struggles with meaning or life purpose. Kari often starts by helping people identify what keeps them stuck and then teaches concrete skills for coping and change.

Treatment can include emotional release work and practical strategies for managing thoughts, behaviors, and distressing feelings. Sessions are offered in English and can be scheduled across Texas. International clients are also accepted.

She uses a subscription-based scheduling model that can be canceled at any time and works with clients through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging.

Online support

Online approaches that focus on emotion and action

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people notice and work with strong emotions so those feelings no longer drive unhelpful patterns. It is often used when past hurts or trauma create repeated reactions in daily life.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to accept difficult emotions while taking actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and life changes where someone wants clearer direction and purpose.

Client-centered therapy creates a supportive space where the person leads the pace and content of sessions while the therapist reflects and supports. This approach can help people feel heard and understood before moving into skill work.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked in the past. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy offers practical benefits like flexible scheduling and different ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions use less bandwidth, live chat fits short check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection. These options make it easier to fit work on emotions and behavior into a busy life.
