About Shannon

Shannon Mott is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship problems, and the ongoing effects of trauma. She guides clients through life changes, grief, and issues around identity and intimacy in a straightforward, supportive way. Shannon presents herself as a steady presence for people who feel stuck or overwhelmed.

Shannon uses practical, evidence-informed methods to build clarity and coping skills. She focuses on each person’s strengths and personal story rather than a one-size-fits-all plan. Sessions aim to help people notice patterns, try small behavior changes, and make choices that fit their values.

Her practice pays attention to cultural background and inclusivity. That means conversations may include how identity, family history, and social expectations shape feelings and choices. She also works with concerns such as ADHD, addiction, chronic illness, caregiver stress, and body image.

Shannon’s style is collaborative and direct. She listens first, then helps set clear goals and steps. Clients can expect straightforward feedback, practical tools, and space to reflect on what matters most to them.

She is licensed as an LCSW in Louisiana and has nine years of clinical experience. International clients may be supported in English. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to availability.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small actions that match those values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and situations where someone feels stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression. It often includes practical exercises between sessions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at relationship patterns and how early connections shape current emotional responses, which can help with intimacy, grief, and relationship struggles.

Finding the best approach is part of the process. Shannon works together with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That collaborative process can include trying different techniques and adjusting the plan as progress is made.

The biography does not specify exact session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Many people find online sessions useful because they can fit therapy into a busy day, avoid travel time, or choose settings that reduce interruptions. Online work still centers on clear goals, practical exercises, and regular check-ins to track progress and make real changes.

Before you get in touch

Therapists listed here offer talking therapy online. A profile is not a diagnosis of you or of anyone in your life, and no therapist can promise how a relationship will turn out.

If you are in danger, or someone is hurting or threatening you, contact emergency services or a domestic-abuse helpline. The numbers are at the foot of this page.
