About Shantel

Shantel Westbrook is a licensed Kansas therapist with two decades of professional experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, addictions, and major life transitions. She holds an LCP - a state professional license to practice clinical therapy - and brings focused experience helping clients build motivation, improve self-esteem and confidence, and cope with change. She also addresses compassion fatigue, grief, sleep difficulties, career concerns, depression, ADHD, and related challenges that affect daily functioning and life satisfaction.

Shantel blends therapeutic support with coaching-minded strategies to help clients identify practical steps toward clearer goals and improved wellbeing. She pays particular attention to issues that arise across the lifespan, including aging and geriatric concerns, caregiver stress, hospice and end-of-life counseling, and challenges tied to divorce, substance use, and first responder stress. Her work also attends to communication difficulties, intellectual disability considerations, and feelings of emptiness or loss of purpose.

Shantel aims to create an open, nonjudgmental environment where thoughts and emotions can be explored honestly. She recognizes the courage it takes to pursue change and offers steady support and empowerment as people take the first steps toward a more fulfilling, balanced life.

Evidence-Based Techniques Delivered Online

Shantel uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and meaningful change. One approach emphasizes identifying and reshaping unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors to reduce anxiety and low mood - this helps people gain clearer perspective and more effective coping. Another approach centers on motivation and behavior change, offering structured strategies for addressing addictions, building healthier routines, and strengthening self-confidence. A third focus is skills-based support for stress management and sleep regulation, teaching concrete tools to improve daily functioning and resilience.

Choosing the right therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. Shantel works with each person to explore goals, preferences, and life circumstances, and together they determine which techniques fit best at different stages of work. The plan can evolve as needs change.

Online therapy with Shantel is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexible access to licensed professionals. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and receive consistent support from wherever one is located within the therapist's service area.
