About Shantel

Shantel Farrow is a licensed marriage and family therapist who helps people manage anxiety, depression, relationship strain, grief, and life transitions. She offers a calm presence and practical steps for everyday challenges. Her approach suits someone who wants clear direction as well as time to reflect.

Shantel practices with attention to the whole person. She draws on Existential therapy to help people find meaning in difficult moments and Attachment-Based work to look at how early relationships shape current patterns.

Background and approach

She also uses Client-Centered and cognitive behavioral techniques to build skills for managing emotions and changing unhelpful habits. Her style is straightforward and collaborative. Sessions often include talking through recent events, noticing patterns in thinking and behavior, and trying small experiments to test new ways of responding.

For trauma and intense memories she may integrate EMDR-informed methods alongside other tools. Shantel has eight years of clinical experience and holds an Oklahoma Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist credential, LMFT. She draws on that experience when supporting people facing addiction, chronic illness, parenting stress, ADHD, or caring-related burnout.

She offers therapy in English and accepts clients from outside the United States. Sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging for people who need a flexible schedule. To begin, a short online questionnaire helps match needs and goals, then sessions are scheduled according to the therapist's calendar and the subscription plan chosen.

Online support

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Existential Therapy helps people consider meaning, values, and personal choice when facing life transitions and uncertainty. Sessions focus on questions about purpose and freedom, which can help when coping with major changes or persistent dissatisfaction.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current emotions and reactions. This work helps people notice recurring interaction styles and try new, more helpful ways of relating to partners or others.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental listening stance that centers the person's experience. It supports people who need sounding-board time and gentle guidance while they sort through feelings and decisions.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative step can occur early in online sessions and be revisited as goals change.

Online therapy offers flexible options like video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video suits deeper conversations that benefit from seeing facial cues. Phone can be a good choice when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging let someone send updates or work through thoughts between longer appointments. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or busy schedules.
