About Shannon
Shannon Mott is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in Louisiana who helps people manage anxiety, depression, stress, and life changes. She meets people where they are and focuses on practical steps they can use day to day. Shannon writes in a direct, compassionate way and helps clients break problems into manageable pieces.
Her practice pays attention to relationship and family dynamics without assuming a single path forward. Shannon uses a mix of evidence-informed approaches that fit each person's needs, including work that looks at thoughts, emotions, and patterns of connection.
Background and approach
She often supports people dealing with grief, trauma and abuse, and intimacy-related concerns. Shannon brings nine years of clinical experience to sessions and keeps treatment simple and goal-oriented. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and take meaningful action.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to address unhelpful thinking and behavior cycles. Attachment-based ideas inform how she talks about patterns that repeat in relationships and close connections. The Gottman Method is also part of her toolkit to help clients notice interaction patterns and practice new skills.
Shannon aims to tailor methods to individual preferences rather than following a single approach. She supports people facing parenting strain, sleep problems, addictions, ADHD, career stress, and a wide range of other concerns. Sessions are offered in English and Shannon accepts international clients when a match fits.
Practical guidance and steady support are central features of her work.

Online support
Approaches that guide online sessions
Shannon uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people identify personal values and take small steps toward them, even when emotions or fears are strong. ACT can be useful for stress, anxiety, and making behavior changes that matter over time.She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to spot and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT is practical and often focuses on skills you can practice between sessions to reduce anxiety and improve mood.
Attachment-based ideas are used to understand repeating patterns in close connections and how past experiences shape current reactions. This perspective can help people change how they relate and feel safer in relationships.
Finding the right approach is a team effort. Shannon will discuss these options with clients and together decide what fits goals, preferences, and daily life. She adapts methods as progress is made so therapy remains useful and relevant.
Online sessions are available by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video calls work well for deeper conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit a break at work. Live chat and text messaging are useful for quick check-ins, brief skill practice, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These formats make it simpler to keep therapy consistent around busy schedules.
