Shannon Mott

Shannon Mott is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage stress, anger, and relationship problems. She works with depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, parenting strain, and life transitions. Shannon emphasizes practical steps that people can try between sessions to feel steadier day to day.

Shannon uses straightforward conversation to understand each person’s experience. She pays attention to cultural background and identity when discussing goals and coping strategies. Sessions aim to build self-understanding and tangible skills rather than focus only on labels.

Her approach combines several evidence-informed methods. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. Emotionally-Focused and Attachment-Based ideas guide work around closeness, trust, and patterns in relationships. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy supports noticing difficult feelings without getting stuck and committing to meaningful actions.

With nine years of clinical experience as an LCSW in Louisiana, Shannon draws on hands-on practice helping people move through hard moments. She listens for strengths clients already use and adds small, doable changes to expand those resources.

People who are dealing with addictions, chronic illness, parenting stress, identity concerns, or intimacy issues may find this style useful. Shannon aims to be collaborative and direct, helping clients set realistic short-term goals while keeping longer-term growth in view.

How Shannon’s approaches work for online therapy

Shannon often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice thought patterns and test small behavior changes. CBT is practical and works well for anxiety, depression, anger, and stress by breaking larger problems into steps and experiments.

She also integrates Attachment-Based Therapy ideas to look at how early and current relationship patterns shape reactions. This approach helps people understand closeness, trust, and recurring relationship fights or avoidance.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Shannon will talk with each person about goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try first. Together they choose techniques that fit the client’s situation and comfort level, adjusting as progress is made.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the available session formats before booking since the biography does not list them. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, shorten travel time, and allow therapy during breaks from work or school. It also makes it possible for people outside Louisiana to connect with a licensed professional who uses these approaches.
