About Shannon
Shannon Mott is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Louisiana with nine years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, parenting pressures, trauma, and life changes. Sessions are offered in English and Shannon accepts international clients.
Shannon focuses on practical steps people can use day to day. She helps people talk through family conflict, manage strong emotions, and cope with grief or loss. She also supports people managing addictions, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and intimacy-related concerns.
Her approach draws on evidence-based tools. Shannon uses cognitive behavioral strategies to address unhelpful thinking and behavioral patterns. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) ideas to help people notice what matters and take action toward those values.
Attachment-informed work is part of her practice when relationship history matters. That work looks at how early bonds affect closeness and trust now. Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas appear when the focus is on repairing emotional connections and expressing needs more clearly.
Shannon places attention on multicultural and identity-related concerns. She commonly helps people navigating LGBT issues, adoption and foster care questions, blended family challenges, and the stresses of caregiving. She also works with people facing chronic illness, body image struggles, and career transitions.

How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small, doable steps toward those values while learning to live with difficult feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety, improve mood, and manage stress. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current reactions and can help people change how they connect and ask for support.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Shannon treats the selection of methods as collaborative - she will discuss preferences, goals, and what feels most useful, then adjust techniques as needed over time. The result is a plan that fits the issues you bring and the pace you prefer.
The original biography does not specify session formats, so please confirm which formats are available before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. They also let people work with a licensed professional from different locations, which may help when juggling parenting, work, or caregiving responsibilities.
