Shannon Lloyd , LPC

Shannon Lloyd is a Licensed Professional Counselor in Mississippi with 16 years of experience. She focuses on women’s issues alongside a range of concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, ADHD, and relationship difficulties. Shannon aims to create a welcoming space where people can talk honestly about their struggles and start practical steps toward feeling better.

Shannon uses straightforward, person-focused work that centers the client’s goals. She draws on client-centered therapy to build trust and on cognitive behavioral approaches to identify patterns that feed stress and anxiety. She also uses emotionally-focused and narrative elements when feelings and personal stories need to be worked through.

Her style is warm and empathetic, with a balance of structure and listening. Sessions often include setting short-term goals, trying out new coping skills, and reflecting on past experiences that shape current choices. Shannon pays attention to cultural background and how it affects beliefs about relationships, identity, and resilience.

People can expect clear, practical steps alongside space to process strong feelings. That might look like simple behavioral experiments between sessions, learning tools for emotion regulation, or reworking the stories people tell about themselves. The focus is on small, achievable changes that add up over time.

Shannon has worked in varied counseling settings and brings that breadth into online formats and remote work. She supports parents who need help with parenting challenges, people navigating life changes, and those coping with isolation or discrimination.

Approaches that suit online sessions

Shannon uses client-centered work to keep the focus on each person's needs and goals. That approach means sessions begin with listening and building a plan based on what matters most to the client. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replaces them with practical strategies for reducing anxiety and improving mood.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Shannon will talk through options with each client, try approaches that fit the presenting concern, and adjust the plan as progress is made. Clients help set goals and give feedback so therapy stays relevant to their life and values.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face work and exercises that benefit from seeing each other. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging can be useful for brief updates, homework, or when someone prefers writing to speaking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy schedule and maintain steady progress.
