About Shannon

Shannon Mott is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Louisiana with nine years of experience. She works with adults who are facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and major life changes, and she lists blended family issues among her focus areas.

She uses straightforward, evidence-informed methods to help people sort out what matters to them. Sessions often involve clarifying values, learning practical coping skills, and practicing new ways of communicating. Shannon draws on approaches like cognitive behavioral work and attachment-focused ideas to address patterns that keep problems repeating.

Clients bring a range of concerns, from grief and trauma recovery to parenting strain, addiction struggles, and questions about identity. She also notes experience with issues such as ADHD, bipolar disorder, chronic illness, and adoption and foster care experiences. The writing of treatment plans centers on goals the person identifies first.

In sessions Shannon aims to make concepts usable in everyday life. That can mean short behavioral experiments, role-played conversations, or step-by-step plans for changing a routine. She explains skills plainly and checks in on how they feel in practice.

She works with cultural and sexual diversity and includes LGBTQ concerns in her practice. International clients may be accepted and sessions are offered in English. To begin, clients follow the site matching steps and schedule an initial session.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to a person and building actions that reflect those values. It often helps with anxiety, stress, and navigating life changes by teaching practical ways to notice thoughts without getting stuck in them.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets the links between thinking, feeling, and behaving. It is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and habit change through skill building, behavior experiments, and tracking patterns.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationship patterns shape reactions and closeness. It can help with intimacy concerns, relationship cycles, and patterns that show up in blended household dynamics.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Shannon will discuss options and try different methods based on the client’s goals and preferences. She collaborates with each person to decide what feels practical and helpful, and adapts strategies as progress is reviewed.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since the biography does not list specific formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into daily life by cutting travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, and enabling work around work or family schedules. Ask about the session types offered to match practical needs with therapeutic goals.
