Shannon Williams, LPC

Shannon Williams is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) based in Georgia who focuses on practical change in daily thoughts and habits. He aims to help people manage stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, and shifts in mood or routine. Shannon writes simply and listens closely to understand what is getting in the way of everyday functioning.

He uses clear, structured techniques drawn from cognitive behavioral approaches and acceptance-based work to help people notice unhelpful thinking and build small, sustainable habits. He also draws on attachment-informed ideas to improve how people relate to themselves and others. Sessions are conversational and goal-minded, with attention to skills that can be tried between meetings.

Shannon has worked across several settings, including private practice, a drug addiction and mental health hospital, and as a liaison therapist for juvenile justice and child welfare systems. He has experience supporting people with substance use issues, mood and thought concerns, trauma and parenting questions. His background includes work with a wide range of ages and life situations.

Shannon blends problem-solving with encouragement and practical planning. He often uses short written exercises, behavior experiments, and steady tracking of progress. Outside of clinical work he writes about motivation and has published a book and maintains a blog, which informs his focus on everyday resilience.

His stated approaches include ACT, CBT, attachment-based work, and DBT skills, all used to help people manage thoughts and daily habits and to move toward meaningful life changes.

Using ACT, attachment ideas, and CBT online

Shannon commonly draws from acceptance and commitment therapy, attachment-based ideas, and cognitive behavioral therapy in his work. ACT focuses on clarifying values and accepting difficult thoughts while taking committed action toward what matters most. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationship patterns shape current reactions and helps people try new ways of relating. CBT targets unhelpful thinking and routine behaviors, teaching practical skills to change how someone feels day to day.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will listen to your goals and try methods that fit your situation, then adjust as needed. Expect an open conversation about what helps and what to try next, with regular check-ins on progress.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Many people find online therapy useful because it can make scheduling easier, reduce travel time, and fit a short check-in during a break. Online work can also make it simpler to practice real-life behavior experiments between sessions. Licensed professionals often adapt ACT, attachment work, and CBT skills to an online setting to keep therapy practical and focused on everyday habits.
