About Shannon
Shannon Williams is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Georgia who helps people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, and relationship struggles. He works with adults across a range of life stages and backgrounds, including people navigating trauma, grief, codependency, and changes in mood or behavior. Shannon aims to make sessions practical and straightforward so clients can use what they learn right away.
He draws on a mix of established approaches to meet each person's needs. Shannon uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. He also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to support values-based choices, and Attachment-Based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns.
Shannon’s background includes work in private practice, a drug addiction and mental health hospital, and roles with juvenile justice and child welfare agencies. He has experience with elementary-age children through the elderly and with people facing substance use challenges. Those roles shaped his focus on clear communication and practical skills.
He describes counseling as both a passion and a gift, and brings creativity to sessions when solving problems. Outside of clinical work he writes a motivational blog and has published a book. Shannon has three years of professional experience and holds an LPC credential in Georgia.
People considering therapy with him should expect a collaborative approach that aims to build coping skills, improve relationships, and support everyday functioning. Prospective clients are encouraged to confirm session options and scheduling details before they book.
How his approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that match their values. It is often used for anxiety, depression, codependency, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical steps to change thinking and behavior patterns that keep problems going, which can help with mood, sleeping, and coping skills. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current relationship patterns and helps people build healthier ways of connecting with others.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each client to see which methods fit their goals and preferences. That may mean mixing techniques over time and checking in about what's helping and what needs to change.
The therapist's biography does not state which online session formats he uses, so please confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people meet from wherever they are located. Many licensed professionals choose approaches that translate well to virtual conversations, using guided exercises, behavior experiments, and values work that can be done between sessions.
