Shannon White

Shannon White

Therapist

Virtual • New Jersey


I'm Shannon White, LCSW-S, an Integrative Mental Health Therapist with more than 23 years of experience. Much of my work centers women who are used to being the ones others depend on. They may be leading at work, caring for their families, building something of their own, or simply carrying more than most people realize.

From the outside, they often appear to be doing well. Inside, they know something has shifted.

I also work with men who find themselves in a similar place and are ready to better understand how stress, responsibility, and the demands of life are affecting them.

My work is grounded in evidence-based mental health care, whole-person wellness, and Christian principles. I believe good therapy should make room for the whole person and go deeper than simply helping you function better. I won't rush you toward resolution, and I won't mistake your composure for wellness. My style is rigorous clinically and gentle personally — because healing deserves both.

Virtual • New Jersey


Hi, I’m Danielle, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). I’m passionate about helping people find healing, balance, and growth through life’s challenges.

I earned my Bachelor of Social Work (BSW) from Stockton University in 2016 and went on to complete my Master of Social Work (MSW) at Fordham University’s Advanced Standing Clinical Track in 2017. Since then, I’ve had the privilege of working with a wide range of individuals and families across many settings including hospice care, services for the unhoused population, psychiatric hospitals, and, in the most recent years, in public schools as part of the Child Study Team writing IEPs and providing counseling.

These experiences have given me a deep understanding of how emotional, environmental, and social factors impact well-being. In my practice, I strive to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients feel heard and supported. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and tailored to each person’s unique story and goals.

Whether you’re navigating anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, or life transitions, I’m here to work alongside you as you build resilience and rediscover your sense of self.

I’ve been a therapist for over a decade, and I focus my work towards supporting adults through life transitions; if you’re going through a change in life, you’ve found the right place! I’ve always been drawn to work that allows me to connect deeply with people, understand their experiences, and help them move toward the life they want. One of my favorite aspects about being a therapist is getting to sit with curiosity everyday while learning with my clients.

I often find myself supporting clients with: Navigating dating and understanding relationship patterns, starting and re-starting a career, exploring the idea of parenthood, improving communication with loved ones, managing the stress and burnout experienced with healthcare professionals, the complexities of having a chronic illness, and the processing of grief and loss.

Happy patient looking away

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in New Jersey

Searching for therapists in New Jersey starts with finding the right fit for your needs, location, and schedule. Across the state, therapy options can vary between urban, suburban, and rural areas, so it helps to look for a therapist whose listed specialties match what you want support with. That may include anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship challenges, grief, or life transitions. You can also look for training in approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, or acceptance and commitment therapy.

Your search may look different in Newark, Jersey City, Trenton, South Jersey, or a smaller New Jersey community. Some people prefer an in-person therapist close to home or work, while others choose virtual sessions for more scheduling options. Beyond specialty, review whether a therapist is accepting new patients, offers appointment times that fit your calendar, and provides a free phone consultation. Reading therapist profiles can help you understand their style, areas of focus, and what a first session may include before you book.

The cost of therapy in New Jersey can vary, and using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you search for licensed therapists who are accepting new patients, see estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, and compare virtual or in-person options in one place. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, and you can enter your insurance details to confirm coverage for your specific plan and location. Browse therapists, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
