Dr. Shannon Holliker, LCSW

Dr. Shannon Holliker is a licensed clinical social worker and clinician based in Florida who brings 12 years of experience supporting individuals and families through stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, trauma, and life transitions. She holds a PhD in Public Affairs with a social work focus, two master’s degrees in Social Work and Child Development and Education, and an LCSW - a Licensed Clinical Social Worker credential that reflects clinical training and professional licensure. Her doctoral work has enabled her to continue teaching at the college level and to contribute to research in critical areas of mental health.

Her practice emphasizes honest, open dialogue and collaborative goal setting so clients can track progress in measurable ways. She has a strong focus on early childhood and family systems, offering interventions for very young children (0-5 years) and guidance to parents facing developmental, behavioral, medical, or fertility-related stress. She also provides individual therapy for anxiety, depression related to life and work stress, burnout, and trauma responses, recognizing that symptoms often reflect cumulative stressors rather than a single cause.

Dr. Holliker values a strengths-based stance that honors small victories while addressing deeper patterns when needed. She tailors methods to each client, combining attachment-informed perspectives, evidence-based strategies, and client-centered support to help families and adults navigate parenting concerns, relationship issues, addiction challenges, workplace stress, ADHD, and other life adjustments. She welcomes those ready to begin a process of self-discovery and practical change and collaborates with clients to define clear, achievable outcomes.
