About Shannon

Shannon Mott is an LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) practicing in Louisiana with nine years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, addiction, grief, and other life changes. Shannon also lists work around parenting, intimacy, sleep problems, ADHD, and career strain.

She uses practical, evidence-informed methods to help people name patterns that come from the family they grew up in. Conversations focus on what is happening now and how past roles and expectations still affect daily life. Sessions are straightforward and focused on concrete steps the client can use between meetings.

Shannon draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to reshape unhelpful thoughts and build flexible action. Attachment-Based Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy guide work on closeness, boundaries, and how people respond to conflict. Client-Centered Therapy informs the way she listens and helps people organize their goals.

Her background includes supporting people who identify as LGBT and those with adoption or abandonment concerns. She also notes experience with caregiving stress, chronic illness, body image, and blended family issues. These areas often intersect with family-of-origin patterns and relationship dynamics.

Shannon welcomes people from diverse backgrounds and accepts international clients who can work in English. Costs vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and a first session is scheduled via the See online therapy options button.

How her approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck in them and then choose values-based actions. It is often useful for anxiety, stress, and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing them with practical exercises to reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current connection patterns and helps people change how they relate to others in close relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Shannon will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit best based on their goals, current difficulties, and preferred pace. That choice can evolve as therapy moves forward and priorities shift.

The original biography does not list specific remote session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Many people find remote sessions help them keep continuity during life transitions and balance therapy with work or caregiving duties. Licensed professionals adapt exercises and homework for the online setting so the work remains practical and focused.
