Shan Croft , LMFT

Shan Croft is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in Georgia with nine years of clinical experience helping adults navigate relationship, mood, and life-transition concerns. She has worked with individuals and families facing depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, trauma and abuse, stress, addictions, grief, and a range of interpersonal difficulties such as attachment wounds, infidelity, codependency, and blended family challenges. Her work also addresses career questions, compassion fatigue, and issues related to identity and multicultural concerns.

Shan brings a collaborative, direct, and supportive style to therapy while maintaining a solution-focused orientation. She helps clients identify and reframe the thoughts, emotions, and behaviors that can stand in the way of more fulfilling relationships and a more satisfying life. Her clinical toolkit includes cognitive behavioral techniques, motivational interviewing, narrative methods, and solution-focused strategies, and she tailors the conversation to meet each person s unique needs and goals.

Sessions are offered in either 30-minute or 45-minute formats, and she remains flexible when a shorter appointment better fits a client s schedule. Shan emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and empathy in her work and aims to encourage clients toward practical change and increased self-understanding as they pursue healing and growth.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Shan draws from client-centered therapy to create a respectful, empathic space where clients lead the conversation and their own goals guide the work. This approach is helpful for building self-awareness, improving self-worth, and addressing interpersonal concerns. She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy - a practical method that helps people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop concrete skills to reduce anxiety, depression, and stress. Motivational interviewing is part of her repertoire as well - a collaborative style that helps people find their own motivation to change, which can be especially useful for addressing addictions, ambivalence about relationships, or career transitions.

Finding the best therapeutic approach is part of the process. Shan partners with each client to determine which strategies fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting methods over time as progress and priorities evolve.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life changes, and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable for each person. Licensed professionals can effectively deliver the above approaches through these remote formats while collaborating with clients to achieve meaningful change.
