Shanton Roberson, LICSW, LCSW

Shanton Roberson is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) in Alabama and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Florida with 13 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, depression, grief, parenting pressures, and anger. Sessions focus on practical steps clients can use in daily life.

Roberson treats the person not the label. She centers the client’s goals and helps people identify strengths they already have. Conversations are direct and goal-focused, with attention to how thoughts and behavior affect everyday reactions. She avoids jargon and keeps plans simple and doable.

Her approach emphasizes clear skills for coping with strong emotions and impulses. That can include strategies to reduce reactivity, tools to manage cravings, and ways to rebuild trust after conflict. She also supports people dealing with identity and multicultural concerns.

Roberson draws on practical, evidence-based techniques rather than one fixed method. She works to match tools to what the client needs right now, then adjusts as progress is made. Expect steady, step-by-step work rather than quick fixes.

Clients are invited to use sessions to test new ways of responding and to practice outside meeting times. The therapist notes what works and what needs tweaking. Over time this builds clearer habits for handling anger, stress, and relationship strain.
