About Shannon
Shannon Mott is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Louisiana who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and everyday habits like sleep and coping routines. She works with adults facing life transitions, grief, addiction concerns, parenting strain, and questions about identity. Her approach aims to make difficult problems feel smaller and more manageable in daily life.
Shannon brings nine years of clinical experience to sessions and centers care on each person’s unique story. She uses straightforward, evidence-informed methods to help people notice how thoughts and habits affect mood and behavior. The goal is practical change that fits into real routines rather than long abstract talks.
In sessions she listens for patterns in thinking, feeling, and action. Then she helps clients try small experiments to test new ways of responding. Techniques draw from cognitive behavioral ideas and acceptance-focused strategies, alongside work that attends to attachment and relationship moments.
Shannon emphasizes collaboration and cultural awareness. She frames work as a partnership where goals come from the client, and progress is measured by what actually improves day to day. That includes sleep, intimacy, parenting, and workplace stress.
Clients can expect a calm, direct style and a focus on building skills they can use between sessions. Her practice also addresses specialized topics like adoption and foster care, aging concerns, neurodiversity, and kink-aware care when relevant.

How Shannon’s approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and life changes where people want more meaningful daily routines. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying thought patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like worry, low mood, and sleep disruption. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationship patterns affect trust and intimacy and can guide work on relationship stress and closeness.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Shannon will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. She revisits the plan as therapy unfolds and adapts techniques so they fit what is actually helping.
