About Shannon
Shannon Williams is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Georgia who helps people manage anxiety, stress, addiction concerns, grief, and mood challenges. He speaks English and offers sessions in multiple formats so clients can choose what fits their life. Shannon aims to make therapy understandable and practical for worried parents and adults juggling many demands.
He uses straightforward talk therapy combined with tools people can try between sessions. Sessions often focus on building coping skills, improving sleep and eating patterns, managing anger, and addressing relationship and intimacy concerns.
Background and approach
He also supports people facing career stress, caregiver strain, and life transitions such as adoption or aging-related challenges. Shannon draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Attachment-Based work to help people notice patterns and try new responses. He also includes techniques from Dialectical Behavior Therapy when emotion regulation and distress tolerance are goals.
Shannon’s style emphasizes listening, clear communication, and practical next steps to test outside of sessions. He has three years of counseling experience and has worked in a variety of settings, including independent practice and hospital environments. That background informs his work with addictions, trauma and abuse, and complex co-occurring issues.
He describes counseling as both his passion and his gift and brings an active, problem-solving mindset to appointments. Outside of clinical work he enjoys exercise, reading, and writing. He authors a motivational blog and has published a book, with additional works pending publication.
Therapy approaches you can use online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice their thoughts and choose actions that align with their values. It is often used for anxiety, stress, and life transitions where values-driven choices matter. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns; it is commonly used for depression, anxiety, and sleep or eating concerns. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships shape current patterns and can be helpful for intimacy issues, abandonment concerns, and relationship difficulties.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then try methods that fit those goals. That collaborative process allows adjustments over time so techniques stay relevant to what the client needs right now.
Online therapy here is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more manageable. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone needs a shorter check-in. Chat and text messaging provide flexibility for quick check-ins, homework support, or ongoing coaching between sessions. These options help people fit therapy into busy schedules and different life situations.
