Shannon Mott, LCSW

Shannon Mott is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship problems. She works with clients navigating life changes, parenting strain, addiction concerns, and identity questions. Shannon practices in Louisiana and accepts international clients, and she brings nine years of clinical experience to her work.

Shannon uses a blend of approaches that focus on what each person needs. She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to help identify unhelpful thoughts and build practical skills. She also uses acceptance and commitment ideas to help people clarify values and take meaningful action even when emotions are hard.

Attachment-based and emotionally focused work appear in her practice when relationships and closeness are central concerns. Those methods are used to notice patterns, name feelings, and shift how people connect with others. Shannon aims to make therapy a collaborative process where the person sets the pace.

She often helps clients dealing with aging and geriatric issues, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and other long-term life adjustments. Her approach includes attention to cultural background and individual strengths, without pushing any single method on everyone.

Sessions are intended to build self-understanding, resilience, and practical steps toward change. People can expect straightforward conversation, skill-building exercises, and a focus on real-life goals rather than jargon or vague promises.

Approaches that translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while choosing actions that match their values. It can help with depression, anxiety, life transitions, and coping with chronic conditions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, stress, sleep issues, and mood concerns. Attachment-Based Therapy emphasizes understanding relational patterns and emotional needs, which can be useful when relationship or caregiving issues are central.

Figuring out which approach fits best is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what methods feel right. Decisions about techniques evolve as trust and clarity grow in sessions, and the plan can change to match progress.

The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy routines, shorten commute time, and let someone check in from a quieter setting. It also allows work on thoughts, emotions, and relationship patterns using exercises, homework, and guided conversation, so progress can continue between meetings.
