Shannon Mott , LCSW

Shannon Mott is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship problems, depression, and trauma. She speaks plainly and aims to make sessions feel practical and focused on daily life. Her work often centers on women's issues and identity concerns.

Shannon draws on approaches that help people name and change unhelpful patterns. She uses tools from cognitive behavioral methods to tackle anxious thoughts and from acceptance-based work to clarify values and next steps. Attachment-informed ideas guide conversations about how past relationships still affect present ones.

Clients can expect a collaborative style. Shannon listens for strengths and then suggests small experiments to test different ways of coping. She emphasizes skills that can be used between sessions, such as brief behavior changes and emotion regulation practices.

With nine years of experience as an LCSW in Louisiana, Shannon has supported people through grief, parenting strain, addiction concerns, and major life transitions. She also works with issues like ADHD, body image, chronic illness, and intimacy-related challenges.

Sessions are offered in English and Shannon accepts international clients. She offers multiple formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Practical steps for starting therapy are simple and focused on matching the right fit.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Shannon commonly blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy to help people address emotional pain and relationship patterns. ACT focuses on clarifying values and taking small committed actions even when strong feelings are present, which can help with anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Attachment-informed work looks at how early relationship experiences shape current reactions, useful for intimacy issues, trust problems, and family dynamics.

Finding the best approach is part of the work. Shannon treats therapy as a collaboration and will talk with each person about goals, past efforts, and what feels helpful. Together they will try methods that match the person's needs and adjust strategies over time based on what actually helps.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different routines and comfort levels. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for longer sessions, phone sessions can be easier when less bandwidth or a shorter check-in is needed, and chat or messaging can suit people who prefer written check-ins or ongoing brief support. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to continue work when schedules or locations change.
