Shannon Lloyd, LPC

Shannon Lloyd is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Mississippi with 16 years of experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, grief, relationship struggles, parenting challenges, trauma and abuse, and issues with self-esteem and coping with life changes. Her style is warm and empathic and she aims to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space where a person can be vulnerable and start to heal.

Shannon draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, mindfulness, and narrative approaches. She focuses on practical steps and clear goals while also listening for the stories and patterns that shape day-to-day thoughts and habits. Sessions often include talking through problems, identifying unhelpful thinking, and trying small behavior changes between meetings.

She has worked across a range of counseling settings and with culturally diverse people. That background informs how she notices family of origin concerns, multicultural stressors, and relationship patterns. Shannon also supports people dealing with abandonment, adoption and foster care issues, attachment concerns, and commitment or control struggles.

Her approach is collaborative: she works with each person to set goals and choose methods that fit their needs. The emphasis is on building strengths and practical coping skills that can be used in everyday life. Shannon accepts international clients and conducts sessions in English.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so the person feels heard and understood. It helps people clarify their own goals and make choices that fit their values.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact. It uses practical exercises and short between-session tasks to change unhelpful thinking and daily habits, which can reduce stress and anxiety.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) addresses patterns in relationships and strong emotions. It helps identify recurring interaction cycles and teaches ways to respond that build connection and calm intense feelings.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Shannon will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That might mean focusing on thoughts and habits with CBT, using client-centered listening to shape goals, or bringing in EFT when relationship patterns are central.

Confirm current session formats before booking, since the biography does not list specific options. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, homework, and conversation to suit remote work so progress can continue even when meeting by distance.
