About Shannon
Shannon Mott is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and life changes. She writes plainly and listens closely to what each person brings. Her approach is collaborative and focused on practical steps that fit daily life.
Shannon uses methods that emphasize values, connection, and changing unhelpful habits. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and attachment-informed work to help people sort feelings and take small actions.
How Shannon works
Sessions aim to clarify what matters and reduce the things that get in the way. With nine years of clinical experience, Shannon has worked with many concerns such as addictions, grief, intimacy-related issues, sleep problems, parenting stress, ADHD, and career transitions. She also supports people wrestling with identity questions and some complex histories like adoption and caregiving strain.
She brings steady support without judgment. In sessions she focuses on practical tools and short experiments you can try between meetings. Conversations explore patterns, coping strategies, and workable changes rather than long academic explanations.
The goal is clearer choices and more reliable ways to manage hard moments. Shannon practices in Louisiana and offers help to English speakers, including people living outside the United States. She holds an LCSW, which is a licensed clinical social worker credential.

Online support options
How these approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify their values and take small steps toward them. It focuses on noticing difficult thoughts and feelings while choosing actions that match what matters most, useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches simple skills to test unhelpful thoughts and build different habits, which can help with stress, sleep issues, and coping strategies.
Attachment-based work explores how past relationships shape current patterns. It helps people recognize attachment needs and learn new ways of relating to themselves and others, which can ease intimacy struggles and long-standing emotional patterns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That process can shift over time as new challenges or priorities emerge.
Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited, live chat can support brief check-ins, and text messaging works for ongoing reflection between meetings. These options increase flexibility and let people keep progress going even when schedules change.
