About Shannon

Shannon Mott is an LCSW with nine years of clinical experience who works with adults managing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship struggles, addictions, and ADHD. She emphasizes a collaborative, strengths-based stance that recognizes each person’s history and individual priorities.

Background and approach

Her practice supports people confronting trauma and abuse, intimacy and sexual identity concerns, sleep and parenting challenges, career transitions, and a wide range of mood and personality-related issues. Shannon blends evidence-informed methods with a respectful, person-centered attitude.

She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to address patterns of thinking and behavior, attachment-focused ideas to explore relationship dynamics, and emotion-focused strategies to improve connection and regulation. This mix is used to help clients build resilience, manage symptoms, and make meaningful changes at a pace that fits their life.

Based in Louisiana, she accepts international clients and conducts sessions in English. Her approach attends to cultural and identity factors while aiming to foster practical coping skills, clearer self-understanding, and sustainable steps toward goals.

Therapeutic Approaches Applied to Online Care



Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify what matters to them and develop actions that align with those values while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms like anxiety or depression and to improve daily functioning. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on understanding emotional responses and improving connection in close relationships to foster greater regulation and intimacy.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to determine which method or combination of methods best fits their goals, needs, and preferences, adjusting strategies as progress unfolds.

Online sessions offer practical flexibility through video calls, phone conversations, live chat, and text-based messaging, allowing therapy to fit into busy schedules or long-distance situations. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care during life changes, support access for international clients, and allow different modes of communication to suit comfort levels and therapeutic goals.
