Are you on a journey of self-discovery and self-improvement? Or perhaps it has come to your attention that you are repeating patterns in your life that don't serve you anymore. In your work with me, I will teach you a variety of tools to use for finding the best version of yourself. I can help you understand complex emotions like shame, guilt, hopelessness, and lack of purpose. I will also help you look at deep-set core beliefs, how they may hinder you, and help you to learn how to change them. I also enjoy addressing spiritual and religious concerns.
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.
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 Smackover
Searching for therapists in Smackover starts with knowing what kind of support you want from therapy. You may be looking for help with anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship concerns, grief, or life changes. It can also help to look for a therapist whose listed specialties match your needs, such as trauma therapy, family counseling, marriage counseling, or support for identity-related concerns. Reading therapist bios can show you how each therapist approaches sessions, which methods they use, and what kinds of concerns they often support.
In a smaller city like Smackover, the number of local in-person therapy options may be more limited than in larger Arkansas communities. Virtual therapy can expand your options while still connecting you with a therapist licensed in Arkansas. As you compare therapists, consider appointment availability, whether they are accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Therapist profiles can also help you understand communication style, session structure, and whether their approach feels aligned with what you want from care.
Therapy in Smackover 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 you book. Headway helps you search for therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, compare specialties and availability, review detailed bios, and see estimated out-of-pocket costs upfront, so you can find a therapist who matches your needs, accepts your plan, and is ready to take new patients.
If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
If anyone in your family is experiencing or worried about abuse, threats, or coercion, joint family or couples therapy usually isn't the right starting point — individual support is safer. The Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline (1-800-422-4453) and National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
