About Shannon

Shannon Mott is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) who focuses on men's wellbeing among other concerns. She aims to help people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, or life changes. Her tone is direct and practical, offering steady support while people sort out next steps.

Shannon draws on a mix of approaches to match each person's needs. She uses acceptance and commitment ideas to help people notice what matters, and cognitive behavioral techniques to address unhelpful thoughts and habits. Attachment-informed work and emotionally focused tools guide conversations about closeness and safety in relationships.

She has nine years of clinical experience and works with issues such as trauma and abuse, addictions, grief, intimacy concerns, sleep problems, parenting stress, anger, self-esteem, career shifts, bipolar challenges, and ADHD. Additional focus areas include adoption and foster care, caregiving stress, chronic illness, body image, and kink-positive concerns.

In sessions Shannon practices collaborative, client-centered care. She listens for strengths and practical barriers, then helps set small goals to build resilience. People can expect clear, everyday language and straightforward strategies to try between meetings.

Shannon is based in Louisiana and offers services in English. International clients may be accepted; confirm session options when scheduling. To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to availability.

How these approaches can work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and focus on values-driven actions instead. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and coping with life changes because it emphasizes small steps toward what matters. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy targets thought and behavior patterns that keep problems going and offers concrete skills to change them, which can help with depression, sleep issues, and anger. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationship patterns affect trust and closeness, and it can guide work on intimacy and relationship strain.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. Shannon will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they try methods and adjust the plan over time so sessions stay relevant and practical.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available online options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and support shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also lets people work from quieter surroundings or choose a session length that fits a lunch break. Ask about current session options when you schedule to pick a setup that works best for you.
