Shannon Williams , LPC

Shannon Williams is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Georgia. He works with adults on common struggles like stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, grief, and questions about intimacy and self-esteem. He also supports people navigating parenting strain, career change, ADHD, and issues related to LGBT identity.

Shannon draws on several evidence-informed methods to help people make practical changes. He uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify patterns that cause distress and to build new habits. He also uses Attachment-Based and Client-Centered ideas to strengthen relationships and emotional safety in sessions.

Before private practice he worked in a range of settings, including a drug addiction and mental health hospital, a liaison role for juvenile justice and child welfare, a home for troubled youth, and church-based youth counseling. That mix shaped his experience with substance use, trauma, and life transitions across different ages.

Shannon describes himself as a clear communicator and an active listener who helps people set realistic goals. He treats therapy as a collaborative process and combines practical skill-building with reflection about values and relationships. He also writes about motivation and coping outside of sessions.

He holds a Georgia LPC credential and has three years of counseling experience. Sessions are offered in English and Shannon accepts international clients for remote work.

Approaches that translate well to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match what matters most. This approach can help with anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns, which is useful for stress, mood issues, and coping with addiction. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current connections and emotional responses, which can support work on intimacy and communication issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they decide which strategies to try and adjust the plan as progress is made, keeping the process collaborative and goal-oriented.

Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls let people use face-to-face interaction when it feels important, phone sessions require less bandwidth, and chat or text is useful for short check-ins or when typing feels easier. These options allow flexibility for different schedules, quieter surroundings, or shorter touchpoints between longer sessions.
