About Shannon Little

My Approach

My therapeutic approach includes supportive psychotherapy, CBT, mindfulness, solution-focused, and narrative therapies to engage clients in solidifying trust, building rapport, and working alongside them to set and reach obtainable goals. In addition, I also utilize elements from both play and art therapies to connect and engage clients through processing and expressing past trauma. Couple work includes both strategic and experiential modalities, which in my experience have assisted clients in challenging their “stuck” patterns, reaffirming goals, and re-establishing connection, roles, and rules within their family system

My Background and training

I graduated from Central Connecticut State University with my Master’s in Marriage and Family Therapy in 2019. I have worked in the mental health field for over 10 years in different capacities, building my skill set and learning about many different populations.

My main focus of practice with clients has been young adults struggling with life transitions, individuals coping and working to heal from trauma, families struggling to repair wounds, and couples working towards reconnecting. I use humor and transparency prominently in my treatment modalities, supporting each client through the therapeutic process.
