Shannon Tarolli, LPC-MH

Shannon Tarolli is a Licensed Professional Counselor of Mental Health (LPC-MH) practicing in Delaware. She has ten years of experience helping people who struggle with anxiety, obsessive-compulsive behaviors, depression, grief, and the daily stresses that come with life changes. Shannon writes in a straightforward way and focuses on practical steps people can use between sessions.

She uses a mix of approaches to match each person's needs. That can look like identifying unhelpful thought patterns, practicing new ways to respond to anxiety, or working through painful memories at a pace that feels manageable. Sessions focus on setting clear, meaningful goals so progress is easy to notice.

Shannon often blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with client-centered techniques. She also incorporates EMDR when trauma processing is appropriate. The aim is to help people live more consistently with their values and priorities, rather than promising quick fixes.

Her background includes working with a wide range of concerns such as panic attacks, social anxiety, workplace stress, chronic pain and illness, and relationship communication problems. Shannon prefers simple language and actionable strategies that people can try right away.

People who choose to work together can expect a collaborative process where goals are revisited over time. She invites prospective clients to consider what matters most to them and to start with small, achievable steps.

How therapeutic approaches work in online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking committed action toward them. It helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, accept difficult feelings, and choose behaviors that fit what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) examines thought patterns and behavior links, teaching strategies to reduce anxiety and change habits that get in the way of daily life. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a method used to process traumatic memories; it can reduce the intensity of painful recollections and the reactions they trigger.

Finding the right approach is something to do together. Shannon will discuss each option, try techniques, and adjust the plan based on how a person responds. That collaborative process helps match methods to goals and preferences rather than assuming one path fits everyone.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session formats before booking since options are not listed here. Many people find remote sessions helpful because they fit more easily into a busy day, cut down travel time, and make it simpler to maintain continuity of care during life changes. Some techniques translate well to remote work, including thought-focused CBT exercises and values-based ACT work, while trauma processing can be adapted when both therapist and client agree it is appropriate. Discuss practical scheduling and what each session will look like when you complete the initial matching steps.
