About Shannon
Shannon Mott is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Louisiana with nine years of clinical experience. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, anger, relationship difficulties, trauma and other life changes. Sessions are aimed at people who want straightforward strategies and clearer thinking when emotions run high.
Mott uses a mix of practical, evidence-based approaches. She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and acceptance and commitment ideas to clarify values and committed action. Attachment-based and emotionally-focused ideas inform her work around relationship patterns and closeness.
Her practice addresses a wide set of concerns including parenting stress, grief, addiction, intimacy issues, sleep problems, ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, and identity matters such as LGBT-related stress. She also pays attention to adoption and foster care histories, caregiver strain, chronic illness, and body image issues when those are part of a person’s story.
Shannon describes her work as collaborative. She helps people name patterns, practice different responses, and test new behaviors between sessions. Conversations are practical and oriented toward what someone can try next week at home or at work.
For people new to therapy she asks simple starting questions about goals and daily routines, then suggests approaches that fit those goals. International clients may be accepted; sessions are offered in English. Costs vary by location and the service uses a cancellable subscription model.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Shannon commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. ACT helps people notice difficult feelings while choosing actions that reflect their values, which can reduce reactivity and build steadier responses. CBT focuses on identifying and testing unhelpful thoughts and teaching practical skills for managing urges and behaviors. She also brings attachment-informed ideas into sessions to look at how past relationship patterns shape present reactions, which is useful when anger arises in close relationships. These approaches aim to clarify what matters, change how someone responds, and repair connection when needed. Finding the right approach is part of the process. Shannon works collaboratively to see which methods match a person's goals and daily life. She helps clients try techniques, check what works, and adjust the plan together so therapy stays practical and relevant. Session logistics and formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-in sessions when needed, and remove travel time so people can focus on skill practice between meetings.Areas of focus
