About Shannon

Shannon Mott is an LCSW who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and money and financial issues. She focuses on practical steps clients can use to manage tense moments and get through transitions. Shannon aims to create a respectful, culturally aware space where people can speak honestly about what’s hardest for them.

She draws on approaches that emphasize personal values, emotional connection, and thinking patterns to guide change. Sessions are collaborative. She helps people notice patterns, try small experiments, and choose actions that match their goals and values.

Shannon has nine years of clinical experience working with concerns like trauma and abuse, relationship pain, grief, and addictions. She also supports people with ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, sleep problems, and parenting stress. Her background includes attention to multicultural issues, adoption and foster care, aging and caregiver stress, and body image struggles.

Her work blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy with client-centered listening and elements of cognitive behavior work and attachment-focused ideas. That mix is used to help people build emotion regulation, repair strained relationships, and plan realistic behavioral steps. Shannon describes therapy as a joint effort where clients set the pace and direction.

Sessions are offered in English and she works with people in Louisiana and with international clients. She holds a Louisiana Licensed Clinical Social Worker credential and uses that experience to support practical, values-driven change.

Approaches that guide online work and goals

Shannon uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify what matters most to them and take committed steps toward those values, even when feelings are difficult. That approach can be useful for stress, anxiety, depression, and life transitions.

She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at patterns in close relationships and how early connections affect current trust and intimacy. This can help when relationship dynamics or family issues feel stuck.

Finding the best approach is part of the work. Shannon collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. She may try different techniques and adjust the plan as progress is made.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Many people find online appointments help fit therapy into busy days by cutting travel time, making it easier to schedule short check-ins, and allowing sessions during work breaks or evenings. Online work can also make it simpler to involve strategies that translate to daily life, such as in-the-moment breathing, role plays, and worksheet-style homework that clients try between meetings.
