About Carolyn "Kari" Homan Shannon
Carolyn "Kari" Homan Shannon is an emotional release therapist with 18 years of professional experience and an LPC, which stands for Licensed Professional Counselor. She blends focused emotional-release work with formal training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), and other therapeutic modalities to support clients through complex challenges.
Her practice has encompassed a broad range of concerns, from ADHD and OCD to co-occurring conditions, but she particularly works with hoarders, people living with depression, and individuals who have experienced serious trauma - including first responders and other trauma survivors. That range informs a flexible approach tailored to each personâs history and needs.
One of her preferred techniques integrates a clientâs faith base - such as belief in a higher power or prayer - with energy work, an approach she reports often brings rapid relief, with many clients experiencing resolution within one to three sessions. She also notes that some situations require longer-term care depending on the nature and duration of the issue. Once immediate "stuck" points are addressed, she transitions to an educational phase focused on teaching strategies, skills, and techniques to help clients build a healthier, more resilient life. She welcomes new clients and encourages those ready to begin to take the next step toward healing.
