About Shannon

Shannon Long is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in South Carolina who focuses on helping people manage ADHD along with a wide range of emotional and life challenges. With 11 years of experience, she brings a compassionate, nonjudgmental stance and adapts interventions to each person’s circumstances.

Background and approach

Shannon works with concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, anger, self-esteem, grief, addictions, and issues related to gender identity and LGBT experiences. Her approach draws on client-centered methods and cognitive behavioral techniques alongside mindfulness and solution-focused strategies when appropriate.

Shannon has experience with trauma and abuse, family and parenting difficulties, eating and body-image problems, bipolar disorder, and many additional areas like attachment or adoption-related matters. She accepts international clients and offers sessions through video, phone, live chat, or text messaging, tailoring the format to each client’s needs.

Shannon aims to build respectful, sensitive therapeutic relationships and to collaborate with clients in developing practical, individualized plans for change.

Practical therapeutic approaches for online care

Shannon commonly uses client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy in her work. Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and collaboration so the client’s goals and values guide the direction of care; it is helpful for building self-understanding and addressing relationship and self-esteem concerns. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to distress and teaching practical strategies to change those patterns, which can be effective for anxiety, mood concerns, ADHD-related coping, and stress.

Choosing the right approach is often a collaborative process. Shannon will work together with each client to explore which methods feel most useful, adapt techniques to the person’s preferences, and adjust the plan as the work progresses to meet individual goals and needs.

Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging makes it easier to fit care into busy schedules and to connect from different locations. These formats allow for regular check-ins, flexible scheduling, and the ability to use practical exercises between sessions, supporting continuity of work regardless of where a client is located.
