Mrs Shanna Farmer
Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist
“Shanna specializes in providing cognitive behavioral therapy to children, adolescents and adults with depressive disorders, anxiety disorder”
About Me
I help children, adolescents, and adults navigate the challenges of depression and anxiety. Using Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, we explore how thoughts, feelings, and actions are connected. This practical approach provides concrete tools to shift unhelpful patterns. Many clients find this structured work empowering, helping them build lasting coping skills for a greater sense of calm. I aim to create a supportive space where you can find your way forward.
Approach
When we work together sessions are focused, paced to your needs, and blend skill practice with brief check-ins about real-life triggers. I offer both Newport Beach and online appointments, and we often set short between-session experiments to test new responses to anxiety, OCD urges, or intrusive memories. Sessions follow a practical rhythm—brief review, a targeted skill or exposure, then collaborative planning—so you leave with something to try. People who appreciate concrete tools and steady support tend to find this way of working helpful.
