About Shannon
Shannon Williams is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia with three years of clinical experience. He lists stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, and depression among the issues he works with. Shannon also notes experience supporting LGBT concerns, grief, intimacy issues, sleep and eating difficulties, ADHD, and other life stressors.
Shannon draws on a mix of practical approaches in sessions. He uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try new behaviors. He also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills and client-centered techniques to focus on real coping strategies and clearer communication.
His background includes work in private practice and settings that treated addiction and mental health. He has experience as a liaison therapist for juvenile justice and child welfare (DJJ and DFACS), and has supported people in residential homes and church youth programs. That variety informs how he adapts conversations to different life stages and circumstances.
Shannon emphasizes straightforward communication and practical problem solving. Sessions often look like talking through current struggles, practicing specific skills, and checking what changes feel useful. He also brings experience working with people from different nationalities and age groups, including elementary-age through elderly populations.
Outside clinical work he writes and runs a motivational blog and has published a book. Those interests shape a style that mixes motivational material with hands-on strategies. For next steps, readers should confirm session options and scheduling details before booking.
How his approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and values, then taking actions that align with what matters. It can help with anxiety, avoidance, and making steady life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical tools to change unhelpful patterns. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and sleep or eating problems. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides concrete skills for managing strong emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness and distress tolerance.Choosing the best approach is part of the process and is done together. The therapist and client will talk about goals, test out methods, and adjust what they try based on what helps. This collaborative process means sessions can shift toward skill practice, focused conversations, or values-based action depending on what fits.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, offer shorter check-ins when needed, or reduce travel time. It also lets someone continue work with a licensed professional from a different location, which can make it simpler to maintain momentum when life gets busy.
