About Shannon
Shannon Long is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in South Carolina who helps people facing anxiety, stress, depression, and many life changes. She speaks plainly and focuses on practical steps that clients can use in daily life. Her 11 years of experience shape a steady, calm approach to common and complex problems.
Shannon draws from client-centered therapy to make sessions focused on each person's goals. She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and habits.
Background and approach
Mindfulness and solution-focused strategies are mixed in to teach coping tools and short-term goals. Her background includes work across settings with people dealing with trauma, mood disorders, attention differences, and eating or body-image concerns. That experience informs how she sets up care and plans small, achievable steps forward.
She aims to reduce shame and help people regain confidence and control. Sessions are adapted to the issue at hand, whether the need is emotional regulation, grief work, addiction-related concerns, or parenting stress. Shannon describes treatment plans in clear terms and adjusts them as progress is made.
The focus is on concrete skills and steady progress. People who contact her can expect a respectful, nonjudgmental style and collaboration on goals. She helps with relationship and family stress, career transitions, and navigating identity questions.
The work is geared toward real-world change rather than labels.
How her approaches translate to online care
Client-centered therapy puts the client's needs and goals first by shaping sessions around what matters most to you. In practice that means conversations focused on your priorities, practical problem-solving, and regular check-ins about whether the plan is working. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) helps identify thought patterns and behaviors that keep problems like anxiety or low mood going and teaches concrete skills to change them. Mindfulness therapy adds simple attention and breathing practices to help reduce reactivity and increase calm.Choosing the right approach is part of the work and is done together. The therapist will discuss options, try methods that fit your situation, and adjust based on how you respond. This collaborative process helps match strategies to your goals and daily life needs.
Online therapy here includes video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging to increase flexibility. Video suits deeper conversational work and skill practice. Phone sessions can fit a shorter break or require less bandwidth. Live chat or text messaging work well for brief check-ins, skill reminders, or when written reflection helps. These options make it easier to keep sessions consistent while juggling family, work, or travel.
