Is there a way to obtain the shutter count on a Canon Rebel T6i or am i just supposed to keep a count in my head?

Canon no longer stores the shutter count info in the image files. Instead, you have to download (and possibly purchase) software that connects to the camera via a USB cable to read the value from the camera directly. Where and how the data can be accessed changes with each generation of EOS DIGIC processor, so be sure you find software that explicitly lists support for your EOS T6i (a DIGIC 6 processor, camera EOS 750D).
If you have a MAC, you might consider this for-sale app that includes your camera type: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/shuttercount/id720123827?mt=12
This windows app is free, but I don't see your camera listed and the comments make it unclear if the EXE or the source code is being shared: https://sourceforge.net/projects/canon-eos-digital-info/reviews

Shutter count software is FREE for a MAC but cost $7 for the Windows program.
This is one of the many reasons I sold ALL my Canon equipment and returned to Nikon

As a lifetime Canon shooter, What the hell is Canon afraid of? The shutter count should be available in the exif data. It's not expensive ( a few bucks) to get the info "off Site". It's not a reason to not buy Canon stuff, but it's still a P in the A to get the count.

Yes, you must get a little clicker ( should have been an accessory when you bought the camera) and keep count of every shot. Sorry, couldn’t help myself. For my T2i I had to download something to my SD card to get the shutter count. Can’t think of the name of it now though and don’t know if it is still available.

Try this one:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/canon-eos-digital-info/
It's finicky about the order.
Turn on the camera.
Plug in the USB cable.
Start the program.
Click Connect.

Here's another one to try:
