About Shannon

Shannon Mott is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and the ripple effects of trauma. She works with adults who are trying to cope with life changes, parenting challenges, grief, addiction concerns, and questions about identity and intimacy. Shannon brings a calm, straightforward style and aims to make conversations feel clear and manageable.

Shannon uses several evidence-informed approaches to tailor care to each person. She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to address unhelpful thinking and behavior. She also uses acceptance and commitment ideas to help people clarify values and take workable steps forward.

Attachment-focused work and client-centered skills guide how she builds a therapeutic connection. That means she pays attention to how early relationships shape current patterns and centers the person's goals in every session. She blends those perspectives to address issues like ADHD, sleep problems, chronic pain, and caregiver stress.

With nine years of clinical experience, Shannon practices in Louisiana and holds an LCSW, which stands for Licensed Clinical Social Worker. Sessions are conducted in English and she is available to work with international clients as arranged.

To start, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules sessions according to the therapist's availability. The service uses a subscription that can be canceled at any time, and cost varies with location and therapist availability.

Therapeutic approaches that translate to online care

Shannon often uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and trying new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety or depression. CBT can be useful for sleep problems, stress, and managing mood swings.

She also applies acceptance and commitment therapy, which helps people clarify what matters to them and take committed steps toward those values even when distressing thoughts or feelings are present. ACT can help with long-term coping, chronic pain, and life transitions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Shannon collaborates with each person to decide which methods match their goals, needs, and preferences. That process may include trying different techniques and adjusting the plan over time.

The therapist's biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow quicker check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Some formats may also be simpler when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter focused session is helpful. Licensed professionals can adapt these approaches to remote work while focusing on concrete skills and relational patterns that matter to the client.
