Shanton Roberson , LICSW, LCSW

Shanton Roberson is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship struggles, trauma, and depression. She brings a calm, direct style to sessions and focuses on practical steps people can use right away to feel safer and more steady.

She works from the idea that each person knows their own story best. Sessions center on the client’s goals and strengths rather than on labels. Shanton offers steady guidance and helps clients build skills for coping with intense feelings, troubling memories, and moments of overwhelm.

Her background includes more than a decade of clinical experience across settings in Alabama and Florida. She has supported people facing grief, parenting challenges, career stress, mood shifts, and the ripple effects of trauma and abuse. Her work also addresses concerns such as body image, domestic violence, adoption and foster care issues, and multicultural matters.

Shanton uses practical, evidence-based techniques to reduce panic, manage impulsivity, and steady mood. She emphasizes learning tools that transfer into daily life so changes last beyond the therapy hour. Her approach is collaborative and straightforward, with an emphasis on small, achievable steps.

People who connect with Shanton often want clear strategies, honest conversation, and a steady presence while they work through life changes. She provides video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs.

Approaches that translate well to online work

Shanton draws on evidence-based techniques that are practical and teachable in remote sessions. One approach focuses on skills training for managing intense emotions and panic - clients learn breathing, grounding, and action steps they can use during distress. Another approach targets mood regulation and coping with depressive symptoms by building daily routines, activity planning, and ways to break cycles of avoidance. These methods work well over video or phone because they emphasize concrete skills and short practice assignments.

Finding the right blend of methods is part of the work. She will collaborate with clients to identify goals and experiment with approaches that fit their needs and preferences. Together they track what helps, adjust strategies, and set manageable steps between sessions.

Online therapy offers practical benefits for people with busy lives or limited mobility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues help. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for quick support between sessions or for those who prefer writing to talking. These options provide flexibility to fit therapy into different schedules and routines.
