About Shantel
Shantel Farrow is an Oklahoma Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with eight years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and the long-term effects of family of origin patterns. Sessions focus on managing stress, improving relationships, and developing day-to-day coping skills.
Shantel uses an approachable, client-centered way of working. She listens to what matters to each person and helps them notice how early family roles and expectations still show up now. Conversations look at patterns of closeness, boundaries, and communication so clients can decide what to change and what to keep.
Her practice draws on Attachment-Based Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to connect present difficulties with past relationships and to try new thinking and behavior in small steps. EMDR is also part of her toolbox for people who want to process distressing memories more directly. Existential ideas help when clients are facing questions about meaning, values, or big life choices.
Shantel often addresses concerns such as grief, addiction, intimacy issues, parenting stress, and the effects of adoption or abandonment. She also works with people coping with chronic illness, caregiver strain, body image, and career pressures. ADHD, bipolar mood challenges, and coping after disasters are included in her scope of practice.
Sessions are conducted in English and she accepts international clients. Costs vary by location and use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How Shantel's approaches translate to online work
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns of closeness and distance. Online sessions can be a place to notice those patterns, practice new ways of connecting, and discuss family of origin influences. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes. In remote sessions CBT often includes concrete homework and brief skill-building between meetings. EMDR is a method some people choose to process distressing memories; when used it follows a structured set of exercises aimed at reducing the intensity of those memories.Choosing a method is collaborative. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they will try approaches, adjust as needed, and keep practical goals in view rather than committing to a single method from the start.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins, and reduce travel time. It can also let people join from a quieter space, use audio-only when desired, or focus on written exercises between meetings. These practical benefits help therapy fit everyday life while the therapist and client figure out which approaches work best.
