About Shannon
Shannon White is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Alabama who helps people manage stress, anxiety, self-esteem, career questions, and major life changes. She focuses on practical steps that fit each person's situation and offers coaching-style support when clients want clearer direction. Shannon invites people to name what matters most and then works alongside them to find workable options.
She centers sessions on the client and their goals. That means listening first, then suggesting small, concrete steps.
How Shannon works
She uses techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy to spot unhelpful thinking patterns. Mindfulness tools help people notice stress responses and choose different reactions. Shannon also draws on motivational interviewing to strengthen a person’s own reasons for change.
Solution-focused strategies keep conversations forward looking and goal oriented. These combined methods aim to create a clear plan that clients can try between sessions. Her background includes 11 years of professional experience in counseling work.
She has worked with people dealing with attachment concerns, autism and Asperger syndrome, body image, chronic pain, communication problems, control issues, and family-related stresses. She also supports people facing guilt, shame, forgiveness, jealousy, and questions about life purpose. Sessions are offered in English and available through a variety of online formats.
Shannon emphasizes collaboration, tailoring approaches to each person's needs, and helping clients develop skills they can use day to day.

How Shannon Uses Talk Therapy Online
Shannon commonly uses client-centered therapy to ground sessions in what matters most to the person. This approach focuses on active listening, reflecting back what the client says, and letting the client's priorities shape the work. Cognitive behavioral therapy is used to identify and change patterns of thinking and behavior that increase anxiety or lower self-esteem; it often involves simple homework and practice between sessions.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. She will discuss goals, preferences, and what has worked or not worked in the past. Together the client and Shannon decide whether to focus on skills practice, motivational strategies, or solution-focused steps to meet short-term goals.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility for people with busy schedules. Video calls let the therapist and client work face to face when a longer conversation is helpful. Phone sessions can be a good fit when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to fit brief check-ins, quick coaching, or follow-up between appointments. These options help people keep therapy consistent while fitting it into everyday life.
