About Shannon

Shannon White is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Alabama who helps people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, career frustration, and major life changes. She focuses on practical steps that build confidence and motivation. Shannon encourages clients to name what matters and take doable action toward change.

She believes each person knows their own story and brings strengths to the work. Sessions are collaborative - Shannon listens closely, asks clear questions, and helps people notice patterns that get in the way. The goal is to turn insight into small, reliable habits that fit daily life.

Her approach draws on client-centered conversations, cognitive behavioral tools, and mindfulness practices to manage thoughts and emotions. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques are used to boost momentum and set concrete goals. Those methods are mixed to match each person’s needs rather than following a rigid plan.

Shannon has been working in counseling roles for 11 years and brings steady, practical support to the room. She works with issues that often overlap, such as attachment struggles, body image, chronic illness or pain, and communication or control problems. She also addresses concerns like guilt, shame, impulsivity, jealousy, and the search for life purpose.

People who choose her work can expect straightforward guidance, respect for their experiences, and an emphasis on real-world changes. If you want focused help moving past whatever is holding you back, she aims to support that next step.

How Shannon uses focused approaches in online work

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and building a trusting relationship. It centers on the person’s priorities and helps them find their own answers through reflective conversation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical experiments to reduce anxiety and improve mood.

Shannon blends these approaches so therapy can be both reflective and action-oriented. She works with clients to set clear goals and chooses techniques based on what the client wants to achieve. Figuring out the best approach is collaborative and can change over time as progress is made.

The practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy schedule and keeping momentum between appointments. Online work can make it easier to keep regular check-ins, try short focused exercises, or build skills that apply directly to day-to-day routines.
