I specialize in mood disorders, anxiety, and chronic pain — and I bring the same compassionate curiosity to every client I work with. I understand that reaching out for help can feel scary. Many of my clients come in worried they won't be believed, or anxious about how they'll be perceived. I want you to know that you are safe here — your experience is valid, and you will never be judged. Outside of the clinic, you'll find me knitting or tending to my freshwater aquariums, which keeps me grounded and reminds me to appreciate the slow, steady work of growth.
I have been working in the mental health field for over 20 years, graduating with a Masters of Arts in Clinical Psychology in 2004. I have experience working in diverse settings including acute inpatient psychiatry, community mental health, and outpatient ambulatory care and private practice. I have worked with all ages and various populations and bring a welcoming, open-minded perspective to therapy sessions.
Welcome! Fourteen years in, this still moves me. ❤️ Let's see if any of this sounds familiar: You check the locks again on your way to bed. You reread the text nine times, send it, then apologize for sending it. You sit in the car in the driveway a minute longer than you need to. You are steady in the hospital hallway and you come apart in the cereal aisle. Your kid gets called defiant by adults who have never seen him tired. You know which friends stopped calling first. You have carried this well, and you have carried it alone, and both of those cost you something. This is for you. Children, teenagers, adults, people starting over at sixty-eight.
I love animals, travel, and new experiences. I've lived abroad in two different countries over a 6 year period, gaining great exposure to different cultures and people. I find it a privilege to serve and help people through their struggles. I feel my own life experiences help me connect with others.
My name is Shannon Overcash, and I have been a therapist for ten years. I hold my LPC and LMFT licenses in Arkansas. I am somewhat new to telehealth, but am excited to experience this journey.
Feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or seeking clarity? You're not alone—and you don’t have to navigate it alone. I work with individuals from all walks of life who are facing anxiety, trauma, identity exploration, or relationship challenges. My clients are often seeking a supportive and nonjudgmental space where they can process their experiences, build resilience, and find practical tools for change.
With over 16 years of experience, I take a warm, collaborative, and affirming approach to therapy. I use evidence-based methods like CBT, EMDR, and solution-focused strategies, tailoring each session to your needs and goals. My style is grounded, compassionate, and direct—focused on helping you feel more empowered, emotionally regulated, and connected to yourself and others.
Hello! I love working with people facing addiction, anxiety, depression, or parenting challenges. I’m here to support you with warmth and understanding every step of the way.
I am a certified cognitive behavioral therapist who is also mindful of the emotions we feel as humans. I believe therapy is holistic—mind, body, and well-being. My goal is to create a safe and judgment-free place to help guide and support you. I was previously an elementary school teacher. I am neurodivergent and enjoy working with the neurodivergent population.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Little Rock
Searching for therapists in Little Rock starts with knowing what kind of support you want. Therapists can help with concerns like anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, trauma, and life transitions. As you compare options, look for someone whose listed specialties, therapy approach, and experience match your needs. A therapist’s profile can help you understand whether they use approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-informed care, or family-focused support.
In a mid-size city like Little Rock, you may find a mix of therapists with offices near neighborhoods like Pulaski Heights, Chenal Valley, Hillcrest, and downtown, along with virtual options across Arkansas. In-person care may be a good fit if location and commute matter to your schedule, while virtual sessions can make it easier to find appointment times that work for you. Before booking, review whether a therapist is accepting new patients, offers the format you prefer, and provides a free phone consultation. Reading bios closely can also show how a therapist describes their communication style and what to expect in sessions.
Therapy in Little Rock can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you search for therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, compare availability, review profiles, and see estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking. You can browse therapists in Little Rock, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
