About Shantel
Shantel Farrow is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) based in Oklahoma who helps people facing anxiety, depression, stress, and relationship struggles. She focuses on practical steps people can use right away to feel steadier and more in control. Sessions emphasize clear goals and steady progress so clients can return to everyday life with better tools.
Farrow uses a person-centered way of working that begins with listening. She asks about daily routines, what feels hardest, and what a better day would look like. From there she combines talk-based work with focused techniques to reduce distress and improve communication. Her approach aims to make change feel possible rather than overwhelming.
Her background includes eight years of clinical experience in Oklahoma. She brings approaches such as attachment-based therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and EMDR into sessions when they match a person’s needs. These methods are used to address trauma, relationship pain, and persistent patterns that keep people stuck.
People come to Farrow for a wide range of concerns, including addiction, grief, parenting strain, body image, ADHD, and coping with life changes. She also supports those dealing with blended family issues, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and communication problems. Her work blends practical skill-building with attention to how early relationships shape current challenges.
To start, clients complete a short questionnaire and then schedule based on availability. The process is collaborative and paced to fit each person’s situation.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Attachment-based therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns. Online sessions using this approach help people notice connection patterns and practice new ways of relating that reduce anxiety and conflict. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems active and teaches concrete skills to change them, which can be practiced between sessions. Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, EMDR, is used to process traumatic memories and reduce their emotional impact when it fits the client's goals.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will ask about your goals, daily life, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Then she and the client decide collaboratively which methods to try and how to pace the work so it feels manageable.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for quieter check-ins during work breaks or between commitments. Some approaches lend themselves to focused skill practice and brief homework assignments that fit well with remote sessions, while other work can shift gradually across meeting types as needed.
