About Shannon
Shannon Mott is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage stress and anxiety and cope with big life changes. She focuses on practical steps people can use right away and listens closely to each person’s story. She uses common-sense strategies to address mood, trauma, relationship strain, grief, and struggles with intimacy or parenting.
Sessions aim to build skills for daily life, reduce overwhelming thoughts, and strengthen important relationships.
Background and approach
Shannon takes time to understand cultural background and identity as part of care. Her work blends talking through feelings with hands-on tools. She draws from approaches that help people notice thoughts, choose values-based actions, and repair emotional connections.
The room is used to practice new ways of coping and to try out different responses to stress. Shannon has nine years of clinical experience and holds an LCSW - Licensed Clinical Social Worker - in Louisiana. That background informs how she supports people facing trauma, addictions, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and chronic health challenges among other concerns.
She also pays attention to less-talked-about issues like abandonment, adoption and foster care, attachment and relationship patterns, and alternative sexual cultures. People who want steady, empathic guidance while they learn new coping skills may find her approach helpful.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and making steady changes in daily life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thinking patterns and behaviors and teaches practical skills to reduce symptoms like panic, low mood, or sleep problems. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) supports stronger emotional connections and clearer communication in relationships and can help with intimacy-related issues.Finding the right approach is part of starting therapy. Shannon will work together with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That choice can shift over time as progress is made and new issues come up.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let people see and speak in real time for deeper conversation. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a camera isn’t wanted. Live chat and text messaging offer shorter check-ins and flexible exchanges that fit around work or caregiving. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while balancing daily life.
