About Shannon

Shannon Williams, LPC, is a Licensed Professional Counselor in Georgia with three years of clinical experience. He works with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, depression, grief, relationship and intimacy-related issues, and ADHD, among other concerns. He uses approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Attachment-Based, and Client-Centered methods to help people manage symptoms and build coping skills.

Shannon draws on experience from private practice, a drug addiction and mental health hospital, and roles with juvenile justice and child welfare agencies. He has also worked in residential settings for youth and as a church youth counselor. That range informs his practical focus on communication, motivation, and real-world problem solving.

In session he combines structured tools and conversational work. He uses behavior-focused strategies and cognitive techniques to address thinking patterns. He also uses attachment-based ideas when relationship or early life experiences affect current problems.

Shannon has worked with a wide span of ages and populations, including people facing substance use, mood disorders, trauma, and caregiving strain. He lists areas such as parenting challenges, body image, chronic illness and grief among his additional focuses. He also notes experience with cultural diversity and faith-based concerns.

Outside clinical work he maintains a motivational blog and has authored a published book. He emphasizes clear communication, listening, and ongoing creative thinking about what helps a person move forward.

Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy teaches skills for noticing thoughts and choosing actions aligned with values. It can help when anxiety, depression, or life changes make it hard to take meaningful steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and trying new behaviors to reduce symptoms. It is often used for anxiety, mood concerns, and coping with stressful situations.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will review goals, symptoms, and preferences and then suggest methods to try. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress is reviewed.

Confirm the specific online session options before booking because the biography does not list formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins, or letting someone join from a quieter location. Licensed professionals can use structured exercises, homework, and real-time discussion in virtual appointments to continue clinical work effectively.
