About Shan

Shan Croft is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) practicing in Georgia with nine years of experience. She focuses on helping people who are facing relationship strain, anxiety, depression, and major life changes. Shan works in a collaborative, direct, and supportive way to help clients move toward clearer goals and better everyday functioning.

She blends Narrative Therapy with client-centered listening and practical tools from cognitive behavioral approaches. Sessions aim to unpack the stories people tell about themselves and test small, doable shifts in thinking and behavior.

Background and approach

Motivational interviewing and solution-focused methods are used when clients want concrete steps and quick progress. Shan often helps people sort through attachment and abandonment concerns, codependency, grief, and issues around intimacy and commitment. She also addresses career stress, multicultural concerns, and compassion fatigue.

Her work includes supporting people with addictions, bipolar disorder, and anger while attending to shame and self-worth struggles. Shan describes her style as adaptable and respectful. She offers 30- and 45-minute session lengths and will shorten a booked slot when a shorter meeting fits the client better.

Conversations are tailored to each person's needs and goals, and she aims to be practical and encouraging in session. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a time that fits their needs. Shan uses a subscription model for sessions that can be canceled at any time.

Online session options

How narrative and practical methods work online

Shan commonly brings Narrative Therapy and Client-Centered approaches into online work. Narrative Therapy looks at the stories people tell about their lives and helps them notice other possible meanings and alternatives. Client-Centered Therapy prioritizes the person's experience, with active listening and empathy to help them find their own solutions. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques when useful to identify unhelpful thoughts and try small behavioral experiments to change day-to-day routines.

Choosing an approach is a shared process. Shan will listen to your goals and preferences and then suggest ways to combine these methods. Together you set short-term goals, try practical steps between sessions, and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit different schedules. Video sessions are useful for full conversations and visual connection, while phone calls can work better when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging are helpful for brief check-ins, quick coaching, or when a shorter exchange fits into a busy day. These options aim to offer flexibility and easier access to regular support.
