About Shannon

Shannon Mott is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in Louisiana who helps people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, relationship strain, and life transitions. She meets people where they are and focuses on practical steps they can try between sessions. Shannon uses a straightforward, respectful style and aims to make therapy feel approachable for busy parents and working adults.

She brings nine years of experience to the work and tailors sessions to each person’s needs.

Background and approach

Shannon draws from approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy. Those methods are mixed to match a person's goals rather than used the same way for everyone. In sessions she often helps people notice unhelpful thought patterns, try small behavior changes, and practice new ways of relating to others.

Trauma-related work includes stabilizing symptoms and building coping skills first, then gently processing painful memories when the person is ready. Relationship-focused work centers on communication and increasing emotional understanding between partners or within family systems. Shannon also supports people facing grief, addiction concerns, sleep problems, parenting stress, career transitions, and identity questions including LGBT issues.

She works with adults across a wide range of life stages and situations, including those managing chronic illness or caregiving demands. Therapy is offered in multiple online formats and can be scheduled to fit real life. To get started, a short matching questionnaire is completed and sessions are arranged according to therapist availability.

Online support

How Shannon's approaches translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then take steps toward what matters in life. ACT can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thought patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like worry or low mood. That approach is practical and often uses homework between sessions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people build healthier ways of connecting, which can improve closeness and reduce conflict.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to identify goals, try methods that fit their situation, and adjust the plan over time. Clients often mix techniques from different approaches as needs change.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to offer flexibility. Video is useful for in-depth work and visual connection, phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports shorter check-ins, and text messaging helps people keep momentum between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to continue care during transitions.
