Randy Floyd, LSCSW
Clinical Level Therapist | Founder (In Person Community & Virtual)

Randy Floyd is the founder of Midwest Anxiety and a Licensed Specialist Clinical Social Worker (LSCSW) who is passionate about helping people live fuller, more confident lives. Known for his optimistic, practical approach, Randy helps individuals shift their attention from what they can’t do to what they can do. His work focuses on helping people move toward growth, resilience, and meaningful change rather than becoming stuck in fear, avoidance, or self-doubt.

Randy believes effective therapy begins with a strong therapeutic relationship. When people feel understood, supported, and respected, meaningful change becomes possible. He works to create an environment where individuals can be honest about their struggles while also recognizing their strengths, building confidence, and developing practical skills for facing challenges head-on.

A central part of Randy’s mission is changing the way people think about mental health. Too often, mental health services are viewed as something only for people who are “broken” or “mentally ill.” Randy believes mental health is much broader than that.

Everyone struggles.

Some people struggle more than others, but everyone experiences stress, fear, uncertainty, difficult emotions, setbacks, and challenging seasons of life. Randy believes caring for mental health should be viewed as a normal and positive part of living well—not something reserved only for times of crisis.

Through Midwest Anxiety, Randy is committed to making mental health care more accessible, practical, and connected to everyday life. His work focuses on helping people manage anxiety, regulate emotions, strengthen relationships, build resilience, and develop skills they can use outside of therapy.

Randy also believes therapy should extend beyond the traditional therapy office. This philosophy is at the heart of Midwest Anxiety’s approach to providing mental health care in the places where people actually live their lives—including homes, schools, medical and dental settings, community spaces, groups, and real-world activities.

Whether through individual therapy, group programs, community partnerships, or events, Randy’s goal is the same: to help people practice the skills they need in real life.

At the heart of Randy’s work is a simple belief: people are capable of more than they think. With the right support, practical tools, and a willingness to face difficult things, people can develop the confidence and resilience needed to keep moving forward.

If you see Randy around, don’t hesitate to say hello—or better yet, give him a fist bump.

Shannon Lieburn, LPC
Masters Level Therapist | Independent Contractor (In Person Office, Community, Virtual)

Shannon Lieburn is a Licensed Professional Counselor who brings more than 10 years of experience in education to her work as a therapist. Before becoming a counselor, Shannon worked as a middle school teacher and later as a school counselor, experiences that gave her a unique understanding of the academic, social, emotional, and family pressures that can shape a person’s mental health.

Shannon believes effective therapy should look at the whole person. Our lives don’t happen in isolation, and neither does our wellness. Relationships, work, school, family, parenting, expectations, and everyday stressors all influence how we think, feel, and function. Her goal is to help clients understand those connections while developing practical skills they can use in real life.

Shannon’s approach is collaborative, practical, and grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Reality Therapy. Shannon works with clients to better understand the relationship between their thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and choices while building healthier ways to respond to life’s challenges.

With her background in both education and mental health, Shannon has a particular appreciation for the pressures faced by children, teens, parents, educators, and families. She believes therapy should not simply focus on reducing symptoms, but should help people build greater self-awareness, confidence, resilience, and a life that feels more manageable and meaningful.

Shannon strives to create a therapy experience that feels supportive, honest, and relevant to everyday life. She believes people are more than their worst behavior or habits, and that meaningful change begins with recognizing where you are, identifying what’s not working, and finding practical ways to move forward.

Clinical Level Therapist | Independent Contractor (In Person Office, Virtual)

With more than a decade of experience, he works with adolescents, adults, and families navigating ADHD, anxiety, depression, stress and burnout, trauma, life transitions, career concerns, self-esteem, and relationship challenges.

Joseph’s approach is collaborative, strengths-based, and practical.

His work draws from evidence-based approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), cognitive-behavioral and mindfulness-based therapies, solution-focused therapy, and positive psychology.

Central to Joseph’s work is the belief that people are more than the problems or diagnoses that bring them to therapy—and that meaningful change remains possible throughout our lives.

Therapy can harness this capacity for change by helping people develop new ways of thinking, responding, and relating to themselves and others. Joseph helps clients build on their strengths, develop greater self-awareness and self-compassion, and practice new patterns that support resilience, confidence, and a life more closely aligned with what matters most to them
