Shannon Wise

Shannon Wise is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Alabama with 12 years of clinical experience. She focuses on practical help for stress, anxiety, sleep problems, anger, depression, and relationship concerns. Shannon aims to treat people with respect, sensitivity, and compassion as they take steps toward change.

She builds a plan around each person’s needs instead of using a one-size-fits-all approach. Sessions often include clear goals and regular check-ins so progress is tracked and adjusted over time. That makes it easier to notice small gains and stay motivated.

Shannon has worked in hospital crisis settings, supporting adults who needed stabilization and help returning to daily routines. She also spent several years providing mental health care in a correctional facility, focusing on stress management and coordinating referrals when medication or special observations were needed.

More recently she has been in private practice, working with adults, teens, and couples. Her clinical work draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address thoughts and behaviors, Dialectical Behavior Therapy to teach coping skills, and reality-oriented goal setting to move toward a better quality of life. Shannon pays attention to impulse control, emotional regulation, and practical steps to reduce conflict.

She encourages people to speak honestly about their struggles and to set realistic, measurable goals. Shannon offers steady support while helping people build skills that fit into daily life and sustain long-term change.

How these approaches work online

Shannon uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help identify unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors that keep problems going. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and anger by breaking problems into small, practical steps.

She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy to teach concrete coping skills for emotion regulation, grounding, and distress tolerance. DBT techniques aim to reduce impulsive reactions and improve calm responses when stress rises.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Shannon will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then try methods that fit those needs. She checks progress and adjusts plans so therapy stays useful and relevant.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into daily life, shorten travel time, and allow quicker check-ins during busy weeks. They also let people practice skills in real-life settings and review homework between meetings.
