Erika Shershun
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
I specialize in helping trauma survivors, including childhood and/or adult sexual trauma survivors, reclaim the life they were meant to live. Despite the technological divide, I have a felt sense of being in resonance with my clients, sensing when they can use support, or a life vest, and when they feel resourced enough to delve into some deeper waters. I draw on somatic psychotherapy, EMDR, neuroscience, energy psychology, and parts work along with the more traditional psychodynamic approach. Feel free to contact me for a free 15 min phone consultation to learn more.

Dr. Glenn Francis
Marriage and Family Therapist, Psy.D., MFT
Online therapy works very well: in some ways, it is better than meeting face to face because it gently slides aside some of the conventional social niceties in favor of really talking about what is happening for a person. Then, working at more depth is facilitated, and more healing can happen.

Margaret Graham
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, LCPC, LPCC
About My Practice
I provide specialized online therapy for adults (18+) navigating anxiety, trauma, and complex life challenges. Through evidence-based therapeutic techniques delivered in a secure virtual environment, I create a supportive space for healing and personal transformation from wherever you are. My approach focuses on getting to the root of what's creating your struggles rather than just managing surface symptoms.
My Approach
My practice centers on what I call "updating your operating system"—we explore the roots of your patterns, understand how you got where you are, and consciously choose where you want to go next. This isn't about dwelling in the past; it's about understanding yourself more deeply so you can move forward with clarity and confidence. I bring together evidence-based techniques like CBT, ACT, Coherence Therapy, and clinical hypnosis with mindfulness practices, creating sessions that are collaborative and organic rather than rigid or prescribed.
Here's what might surprise you: one of the most powerful dimensions of real change is acceptance. Not the passive, resigned kind, but the courageous turning toward where you are with care and curiosity. This approach allows you to look squarely at reality and move forward from a place of truth rather than resistance.
Areas of Specialization
I specialize in supporting clients with:
Anxiety: Managing generalized worry, social anxiety, perfectionism-driven anxiety, decision paralysis, and the anxiety that stems from unprocessed trauma
Trauma Processing: Working through childhood trauma, parentification, relational wounds, and past experiences that continue to shape how you move through the world today
Complex Family Dynamics: Navigating challenging relationships with adult children, aging parents, partners, and other family members where boundaries feel blurred
Grief and Loss: Processing loss in its many forms—of people, relationships, the life you thought you'd be living, or your sense of purpose and identity
Patterns That No Longer Serve: Breaking cycles of people-pleasing, over-functioning, perfectionism, and abandoning your own needs to care for others
Benefits of Online Therapy
My virtual practice offers several advantages:
- Access specialized trauma-informed therapy from the comfort of your own space
- Greater scheduling flexibility across multiple time zones
- Elimination of travel time and transportation barriers
- A familiar environment that may enhance feelings of safety during vulnerable work
Getting Started
I work best with people who are managing to keep their heads above water but know something needs to shift—those experiencing mild to moderate concerns rather than acute crises. I welcome clients who are curious, open to looking at their lives holistically, and interested in a partnership approach. If you're willing to do the sometimes uncomfortable work of growth and want genuine understanding rather than therapy-speak, we'll likely be a good match.
My style is warm, direct, and refreshingly real. Research shows the most important factor in successful therapy is whether you feel genuinely understood and emotionally safe with your therapist—building that authentic connection is central to how I work.
Licensed in Colorado, California, and Maryland. Specialized training in Coherence Therapy, ACT, CBT, and clinical hypnosis.

Shannon Gorres
Life Coach, MDiv, MA
People want fullness of love in life (in work, relationship and purpose), but get stymied by anger, anxiety, or existential dilemmas. Sometimes talking about it isn't enough to transform it. To make significant change, after we name emotions and explore their sensations, we can build a new somatic relationship. By compassionately attending to old habits, then invoking new awareness of how to thrive, we liberate ourselves from past patterns and welcome new joys. If you like contemplative exploration of the roots of your issues, guidance to find your inner ah-ha!, and support for your own wisdom to lead you forward, give me a call. I believe the energy we call Divine (or Source, Consciousness, Godde, All) is within you and around you, ready to speak. You have the answers within you, I'm here to help you find them- and implement them.

Irvine is one of the wealthiest and most planned cities in the United States — anchored by UC Irvine and home to the regional headquarters of dozens of major corporations — with a therapy community shaped by the intersection of high-achievement academic culture, tech and finance sector burnout, and a large East Asian population that brings distinct cultural dimensions to help-seeking and mental health. The city's majority-minority population — with Chinese, Korean, Indian, and Iranian communities among the most prominent — drives strong demand for multilingual therapists who can work across multiple cultural frameworks. Hoag Hospital and the UCI Health system provide institutional mental health resources, with a well-established private practice community serving Irvine's planned residential villages. UCI's clinical psychology training program supplies a significant number of therapists to the broader Orange County ecosystem.
