About Shanton

Shanton Roberson is a licensed clinical social worker who supports people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, depression, ADHD, and a broad range of related concerns.

Background and approach

With 13 years of clinical experience, she centers the client’s strengths and lived experience as the starting point for change, helping clients identify resources and practical steps to manage symptoms and life transitions. Her style emphasizes collaboration and empowerment, inviting clients to set goals and move at a pace that feels right for them.

Shanton draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address mood disorders, grief, compassion fatigue, and complex issues like impulsivity, domestic violence impacts, and multicultural concerns. She also offers support around parenting, career stress, body image, and identity matters including LGBT concerns.

Licensed in Alabama as an LICSW and holding an LCSW credential in Florida, Shanton combines clinical rigor with a compassionate, strengths-focused stance. She aims to create a space where people can build coping skills, explore meaning and life purpose, and take concrete steps toward improved wellbeing.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Access

Shanton uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skill building and symptom management. Cognitive approaches help people identify unhelpful thoughts and develop alternative, more balanced thinking patterns; these strategies are often useful for anxiety, depression, panic, and ADHD-related challenges. Trauma-informed methods emphasize safety, pacing, and processing of difficult experiences to reduce the ongoing impact of past abuse or post-traumatic stress.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist works together with each client to assess needs, preferences, and goals, and then tailors techniques and pacing so clients feel involved in choosing what helps most. Adjustments are made over time as progress and priorities evolve.

Online therapy with Shanton is offered through flexible formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives, maintain continuity during transitions, and access consistent support from a licensed professional without travel. The variety of formats also allows clients to choose the communication style that best supports their therapeutic work.
