About Shannon
Shannon Lloyd is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Mississippi who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship concerns. She also supports those facing grief, parenting strain, self-esteem struggles, ADHD-related challenges, trauma and abuse, and identity questions. Shannon brings 16 years of clinical experience to her work and uses practical, goal-focused methods in sessions.
She favors a warm, empathic style and centers the conversation on each person's needs.
Background and approach
Sessions are collaborative - clients set goals and Shannon helps break them into doable steps. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, client-centered methods, emotionally-focused techniques, mindfulness, and narrative work to fit the situation. In practice she aims to highlight strengths while addressing patterns that cause pain or stress.
Shannon listens for how past experiences shape current reactions, then helps people try new responses. That can mean testing small behavior changes, exploring feelings in the moment, or reframing difficult stories people tell about themselves. Her background includes work across several counseling settings and with culturally diverse people.
That variety informs how she adapts tools to each client’s life and values. Shannon describes the therapeutic space as compassionate, nonjudgmental, and respectful. Reaching out can feel hard, and Shannon focuses on making the first steps manageable.
Clients typically start with a short intake conversation to identify priorities and pick a direction for ongoing work.
Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the person. It helps people feel heard and clarifies their own goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches practical skills to change them; it often helps with anxiety, stress, and mood concerns. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) pays attention to emotions in the room and helps people identify and work through core feelings that drive reactions and relationship patterns.Choosing the right approach is usually a team effort. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, try techniques, and adjust the plan based on what works. That collaborative process helps match methods like CBT or EFT to specific needs over time.
Online therapy makes these approaches accessible across different formats. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and guided exercises. Phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit quick updates, journaling between sessions, or people who prefer writing. Together these options offer flexibility to fit therapy into busy lives.
