About Shantel

Shantel Farrow is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) practicing in Oklahoma. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anger, anxiety, depression, and relationship concerns. Her style is down-to-earth and collaborative, aimed at practical changes people can use day to day.

She draws on several therapeutic approaches to match what each person needs. That can mean looking at how attachment patterns shape relationships or using cognitive behavioral strategies to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also uses client-centered listening to make space for a person’s story and EMDR for those working through trauma.

Shantel brings eight years of clinical experience to her work. She often helps people dealing with grief, addiction-related problems, body image and eating concerns, sleep struggles, ADHD, and the stress of caregiving. She also supports people facing life changes, career stress, or compassion fatigue.

Her sessions emphasize clear goals and practical tools. People can expect to develop coping skills, communication practices, and small experiments to try between meetings. Therapy is presented as a step-by-step process, not a single quick fix.

Shantel aims to provide culturally responsive care and a respectful, nonjudgmental atmosphere. She accepts international clients and conducts sessions in English. To begin, prospective clients are asked to complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule based on availability.

How her approaches translate to online work

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships influence current feelings and reactions. In sessions this means noticing patterns in relationships and trying new ways of connecting and setting boundaries. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s experience through open listening and nonjudgmental reflection, helping people feel heard and make choices that match their values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety, anger, or depression.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Shantel will discuss which methods seem most helpful based on a person’s goals and preferences. She collaborates on a plan and adjusts techniques over time so the care fits the client rather than forcing a single method.

The original biography does not specify session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, help sustain momentum between appointments, and reduce travel time. It can also allow shorter check-ins or meetings that are easier to schedule during work breaks. Licensed professionals can adapt the therapeutic techniques described above to meet needs in remote appointments, and the focus remains on practical skills, processing emotions, and tracking progress over time.
