About Shannon
Shannon Williams is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Georgia with three years of experience. He works with adults who are managing stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, grief, parenting strain, and relationship problems. He also lists support for LGBT concerns, trauma and abuse, ADHD, and issues around intimacy and self-esteem.
Shannon draws on practical, straightforward methods in session. He uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people change unhelpful thoughts and habits. He also uses acceptance and commitment ideas to help people notice what matters and take small steps toward it.
He has practiced in a range of settings, including private practice, a drug addiction and mental health hospital, and as a liaison therapist for juvenile and child welfare services. He has worked with people from different ages and backgrounds, and with those facing substance-related challenges and chronic stress.
Sessions focus on clear goals and usable skills. Expect conversations about what is getting in the way day to day and concrete tools to try between meetings. Shannon also draws on attachment-based and dialectical approaches when relationships and emotional regulation are central concerns.
Outside of clinical work, he writes about motivation and resilience and has published a book. That background informs a practical, action-oriented style aimed at helping people manage life changes and family-related pressures.
How sessions work
How Shannon’s approaches translate to online work
Shannon commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy in his work. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors that keep problems going, which helps with anxiety, depression, and sleep or eating concerns. Acceptance and commitment therapy encourages noticing painful thoughts and feelings while choosing actions that fit personal values, which can help with stress, addiction, and coping with life changes.He also draws on attachment-based ideas when relationship patterns and intimacy issues are central. That approach looks at how early relationship experiences shape expectations and helps clients try different ways of relating. Finding the right approach is collaborative; the therapist and client will weigh goals, preferences, and what has or has not helped before to decide which methods to emphasize.
The original profile does not list specific online session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a workday, reduce travel time, or allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Those practical benefits can help keep therapy consistent while working on parenting strain, grief, or day-to-day stress.
