About Shannon

Shannon Mott is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and intimacy-related issues. She also works with those coping with trauma, relationship challenges, addiction concerns, and major life changes. She practices in Louisiana and communicates in English. Shannon frames sessions around each person's experience and strengths. She listens for what matters most and helps clients set clear, manageable goals. Expect a calm, practical pace where emotions and daily problems are both addressed. Her approach draws on several evidence-informed methods to match a client's needs. Shannon uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and build new coping skills. She also incorporates attachment-focused ideas to improve patterns in relationships and emotionally focused work to strengthen connection and expression. She emphasizes collaboration in therapy. Clients work together with Shannon to try strategies, notice what helps, and adjust plans over time. The process aims to increase self-understanding, resilience, and clearer choices about life and relationships. Shannon has nine years of clinical experience and provides inclusive care for diverse backgrounds. If you are navigating grief, parenting stress, body image concerns, ADHD-related challenges, or intimacy questions, she can help you talk through next steps and practical changes. To start, confirm current session options before booking.

Therapeutic approaches and online work

Shannon uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and build practical coping skills for anxiety, depression, and stress. She also draws on attachment-based ideas to understand how early relationship patterns affect current connections and communication. Emotionally focused techniques are used to help people express feelings and repair strained interactions when intimacy or relationship issues are present.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Shannon will discuss which methods fit your goals and preferences, and she will adjust strategies based on what helps you make progress. Decisions about approach are collaborative and can change as needs evolve.

Confirm the session formats available before booking so you know how therapy will be delivered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also help when someone prefers not to be on camera or needs a quieter setting or lower bandwidth option. Ask about current options when you start the intake process to plan sessions that work with your day-to-day life.
