About Shantel
Shantel Farrow is a licensed marriage and family therapist who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship concerns. She offers straightforward support for everyday struggles like sleep problems, parenting strain, addictive behaviors, and self-esteem worries. Shantel practices in Oklahoma and works with adults seeking practical change and emotional healing.
She uses a person-centered approach that treats each person as an individual. Sessions focus on clear goals and real-life skills people can use between meetings.
Background and approach
Shantel draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness, and attachment ideas to help clients notice patterns and try different responses. Shantel also integrates Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, often called EMDR, when trauma or distress from past experiences is a central issue. EMDR is used alongside talk-based methods to reduce the emotional charge of upsetting memories and increase coping.
She adapts pace and technique to match each person's needs. Her training and eight years of clinical experience inform a practical style that balances empathy with concrete tools. People can expect a calm, focused session that emphasizes understanding current problems and steps to change them.
Shantel pays attention to life context, including work, caregiving demands, and identity concerns. Those who choose to work together set clear goals and review progress regularly. Shantel helps people build skills for managing mood swings, relationship friction, and major life transitions.
Her aim is to make therapy useful and doable for busy lives.

Online support
How EMDR, CBT, and Attachment Work Online
Shantel uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors; this approach is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how relationships shape feelings and reactions, and it helps people build more supported ways of relating. She also uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) when past events keep causing distress, pairing it with talk-based methods to reduce emotional intensity.Finding the right approach is a team effort. Shantel will talk with clients about what feels most helpful, try methods together, and adjust the plan based on needs, goals, and preferences. This collaborative planning helps make sure sessions focus on meaningful change.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is good for fuller conversation and visual cues, phone can work when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in is needed, and chat or messaging lets people share updates or get support between sessions. These options make scheduling easier for busy lives and for people who live outside the therapist's immediate area.
