About Shannon
Shannon Mott is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people handle stress, anxiety, depression, and codependency. She brings nine years of practical experience and focuses on everyday problems like sleep struggles, work pressure, and relationship patterns. Shannon writes plainly and listens closely to understand each person's background and goals.
She uses straightforward, collaborative methods to help people sort through strong emotions and repeated behaviors. Sessions look at patterns that keep problems alive, and then try small, doable changes to break those cycles. Shannon pays attention to cultural factors and identity issues as they come up in sessions.
Her approach draws on several evidence-informed ways of working, including cognitive behavioral techniques and attachment-based ideas. Those tools are used to help people understand their thoughts, manage difficult feelings, and strengthen close connections with others. The emphasis is on practical skills that people can use between sessions.
Shannon has experience supporting people through grief, trauma, addiction concerns, and life transitions. She also works with issues like parenting stress, career uncertainty, and chronic health struggles. Her style is warm, direct, and nonjudgmental, aimed at building resilience over time.
People who choose her often want a therapist who listens carefully, offers clear options, and respects their pace. To start, she asks about current challenges and what the person hopes to change. From there she and the client map out simple steps toward calmer thinking and steadier daily routines.
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and situations where someone feels stuck. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people build healthier ways of relating to others. It can be helpful for intimacy issues, abandonment concerns, and relationship patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods to use, based on goals, history, and personal preference. That plan can change as progress is made and new needs emerge.
The practical upside of online therapy is that it can fit more easily into a busy life. Confirm the current session options before booking, since the biography does not list formats. People often choose remote sessions to save travel time, fit appointments into work or caregiving schedules, or use shorter check-ins when they need a focused update. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT and attachment-based techniques for online settings so sessions focus on concrete skills, emotion regulation, and clearer relationship patterns.
