Shannon Long

Shannon Long is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who focuses on helping people manage anger and related concerns. She speaks plainly and works to make the first steps feel manageable. Shannon aims to create a respectful and compassionate space where clients can talk through what matters most to them.

She uses practical methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy to address stress, anxiety, depression, and behaviors connected to anger. Shannon adapts conversations and plans to each person's needs rather than relying on one approach for everyone. She also applies mindfulness and solution-focused ideas when they fit the situation.

Shannon has worked in counseling for 11 years and practices in South Carolina. Her background includes supporting people with trauma, mood disorders, ADHD, eating concerns, gender identity questions, and family-related problems. She has experience providing individual and group work and has supported a wide age range of clients.

She emphasizes removing stigma and treating people with sensitivity. Sessions center on clear goals, practical strategies, and building skills that clients can use between visits. Shannon encourages collaboration so people leave with steps they can try right away.

For parents or caregivers worried about anger or behavior, Shannon offers straightforward guidance and concrete techniques. Her approach balances evidence-based tools with attention to each person's story and strengths. She invites prospective clients to reach out and begin with a short matching process.

Approaches explained and how online therapy can help

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person's experience and priorities. The therapist listens carefully, reflects what they hear, and helps clients choose goals that feel right for them. This approach is useful when someone needs a steady, understanding space to sort out feelings.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions link together. It teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can reduce anger, anxiety, and mood problems. CBT often includes clear steps and exercises to practice between sessions.

Finding the best approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped in the past. That collaborative process guides whether more CBT, mindfulness techniques, or solution-focused planning will be used.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into daily life, like using appointment times around work or caregiving. It can also let clients choose quieter surroundings, shorter check-ins when needed, or meetings without travel time. Confirm the session formats offered before booking so the chosen way of meeting matches your needs.
