About Shannon
Shannon Mott is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who helps people facing stress, anger, anxiety, and life transitions. She offers straightforward support for everyday struggles like sleep problems, relationship strain, and coping after loss. Her style is down-to-earth and focused on practical steps people can use right away.
She draws on approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people see patterns and try small changes.
Background and approach
Shannon also uses attachment-based and emotionally focused ideas when relationship and intimacy issues come up. Sessions center on the person’s goals and lived experience rather than fitting someone into a label. Shannon has nine years of clinical experience working with a wide range of concerns, including trauma, addictions, ADHD, bipolar mood issues, and identity questions.
She pays attention to cultural context and strives to be inclusive in her care. She also supports people dealing with parenting stress, caregiver burnout, chronic health challenges, and body image worries. Her approach is collaborative.
Shannon listens first, then helps create a clear plan you can test out between sessions. She focuses on skills that improve day-to-day functioning and on understanding patterns that keep problems stuck. Shannon practices from Louisiana and offers services in English.
She accepts international clients and uses a mix of video, phone, live chat, and text messaging so people can choose what fits their life.

Approaches and online options for practical change
Shannon often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice thoughts and behaviors that feed stress and anger, then try clearer, more helpful responses. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is also part of her work; it focuses on clarifying values and taking committed action even when uncomfortable feelings come up. Attachment-based ideas guide her when relationship or intimacy issues are central, helping people understand patterns formed with important others.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Shannon discusses goals and preferences and adjusts methods as therapy progresses. She encourages people to try techniques in daily life and brings results back to sessions to refine the plan together.
Online therapy formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for in-depth weekly work and seeing nonverbal cues. Phone sessions can fit a busy day or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text messaging are helpful for brief check-ins, homework support, or when typing feels easier than talking. These options make it simpler to keep therapy consistent and to pick the format that works best for a person’s routine and comfort.
