Shantel Farrow, LMFT

Shantel Farrow is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) based in Oklahoma. She helps people facing anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and intimacy-related concerns. Her work aims to make starting therapy less overwhelming and more practical for everyday life.

She uses a person-centered style that keeps each session focused on what matters most to the client. Conversations move at the client's pace and emphasize clear, achievable steps. She draws on attachment-based ideas to look at patterns in relationships and on cognitive behavioral techniques to notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.

Shantel also incorporates mindfulness and existential perspectives to help people find meaning and calm during hard times. For clients with trauma, she implements approaches that address past events while keeping current coping skills strong. Her methods are intended to fit real routines, not add extra burden.

With eight years of clinical experience, Shantel supports people dealing with grief, addictions, body image and eating concerns, ADHD, parenting stress, chronic illness, and other complex issues. She includes attention to attachment, abandonment, blended family dynamics, and caregiver strain when relevant.

Her sessions are offered in English and she is able to work with international clients. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule appointments based on availability.

How these approaches work online

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect present connections and emotions. Online sessions can use this approach to spot recurring relationship habits and try new ways of relating in everyday life. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on a respectful, nonjudgmental conversation where the client's priorities guide each session; it helps with building self-esteem and finding personal direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers concrete tools to change negative thinking and behavior, and can be used to manage anxiety, depression, and stress through goal-oriented exercises.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about needs, goals, and preferences and will suggest approaches that fit. Decisions about what methods to use are collaborative and can change as progress is made.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also help people keep appointments during life transitions or while coordinating care across locations. Licensed professionals adapt exercises, homework, and pacing so therapeutic work fits regular routines without creating extra strain.
