About Shannon
Shannon Mott is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people who are having trouble sleeping, dealing with anxiety, or facing major life changes. She focuses on practical steps people can use right away. Shannon aims to make sessions feel straightforward and respectful.
She draws on evidence-based approaches like cognitive behavioral techniques and acceptance and commitment ideas to help people notice thoughts and try small behavior changes. Attachment-based and client-centered ideas shape how she builds trust and follows each person's pace. Sessions usually start by checking what matters most to the client and setting small, doable goals.
Shannon has nine years of clinical experience in Louisiana working with a broad range of concerns. Her past work includes supporting people through trauma, depression, relationship strain, parenting stress, and identity questions. She also addresses sleep and rest difficulties as part of those concerns.
In sessions she listens for patterns that keep problems going and then tests simple alternatives. That might mean experimenting with a new routine, practicing a different way to talk about a relationship, or trying an exercise to shift unhelpful thinking. Progress is tracked in plain terms so clients can see what changes.
Her practice emphasizes cultural responsiveness and inclusiveness. Shannon encourages people from diverse backgrounds to bring their whole selves to therapy and to set the pace.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, sleep struggles tied to worry, and navigating life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing practical behavior changes, which can improve mood, anxiety, and sleep routines. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationship patterns affect current connections and emotional reactions, and can help with intimacy and relationship stresses.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences, and together they will decide which methods to try. That collaborative process can include trying different techniques and adjusting the plan based on what helps.

In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, and offering options that work around work or caregiving schedules. Licensed professionals can use these methods to guide practical steps for improving sleep, reducing anxiety, and managing stress while working within a person's everyday routine.
