About Shantel
Shantel Farrow is a licensed marriage and family therapist who helps people in Oklahoma work through anxiety, stress, relationship strain, and life changes. She focuses on clear, practical steps so clients feel steadier between sessions. Her style is warm and straightforward, with attention to each person’s story and day-to-day needs.
Shantel uses Narrative-informed ideas to look at the stories people tell about themselves. She invites clients to name the unhelpful parts of those stories and to try different ways of understanding difficult experiences.
Background and approach
That approach often makes big problems feel more manageable and specific goals easier to spot. She also draws on Attachment-Based methods to look at how early connections shape current relationships. That helps people notice patterns in how they seek support, react to stress, or struggle with intimacy.
Client-Centered practices keep sessions focused on each person’s priorities and pace. Shantel mixes practical techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy when helpful, such as breaking down negative thoughts and testing small behavior changes. She uses plain language and concrete skills people can use between sessions.
Her work addresses concerns like trauma, grief, addictions, body image, ADHD, and caregiver stress. With eight years of clinical experience, Shantel aims to make therapy a collaborative process. She supports people who want fresh perspectives on old problems and tools to move forward.
Sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging to fit different schedules and needs.

Online session options
How narrative and attachment ideas work online
Shantel blends Narrative Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and Client-Centered work in online sessions. Narrative Therapy looks at the stories people tell about themselves and helps separate a person from the problems they face, which can relieve shame and make change clearer. Attachment-Based Therapy examines patterns in close relationships to reveal why someone might react in certain ways to stress or intimacy, helping them try new ways of connecting. Client-Centered Therapy keeps the conversation focused on your goals and your pace, so sessions follow what matters most to you.Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. Shantel will talk with each person about symptoms, goals, and daily life to decide which methods fit best. She adjusts strategies over time based on what is working and what needs to change, so therapy stays practical and goal-oriented.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversation and visual cues, phone works when bandwidth is limited or a quieter option is needed, live chat suits shorter check-ins or people who prefer typing, and messaging can keep momentum between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or travel schedules while keeping focus on real-world changes.
