Shannon Lloyd, LPC

Shannon Lloyd is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Mississippi with 16 years of experience. She works with adults on concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, parenting strains, relationship struggles, grief, ADHD, and family of origin issues. She also addresses anger, LGBT questions, trauma and abuse, and help with life changes and self-esteem.

Shannon takes a straightforward, person-focused approach in sessions. She listens for the patterns that come from childhood and family roles, then helps people name how those patterns show up now. Conversations include practical ways to shift reactions, rebuild trust in relationships, and manage strong emotions like anger or anxiety.

Her work draws on client-centered ideas and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mixed with Emotionally-Focused and Narrative methods. That means sessions balance grounded skills for mood and behavior with space to tell personal stories that explain current feelings. Mindfulness techniques are used to help people notice and calm upsetting thoughts.

She has worked across many settings and with culturally diverse people over her career. Shannon is familiar with adoption and foster care concerns, attachment and abandonment issues, and problems that come from complex family dynamics. She also supports people facing prejudice, discrimination, and multicultural stressors.

Practical concerns are part of the work. Shannon helps people set clear goals, practice new habits between sessions, and track progress. For adults who want to change longstanding family patterns, she focuses on small, concrete steps that are possible to try between appointments.
