Shannon Williams, LPC

Shannon Williams is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) who helps people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, trauma, and life changes. He focuses on practical steps people can use right away and listens for what matters most to each person. Shannon works with concerns like grief, intimacy, sleep and eating struggles, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. He also supports people navigating career strain and relationship conflict.

Shannon draws from straightforward therapies such as cognitive behavioral ideas and acceptance and commitment tools. He aims to make sessions clear and action oriented, with skills you can try between meetings. His background includes work in private practice, a drug addiction and mental health hospital, and roles supporting youth through courts and child welfare systems.

He has experience across many age groups and settings, including elementary through elderly populations, people with disabilities, and those seeking help for substance use. Shannon describes himself as a strong communicator, listener, and motivator who treats counseling as a calling. He also writes about resilience and has published a book on coping with hard times.

In sessions he uses a mix of approaches tailored to the person’s needs, drawing on tools from DBT, ACT, EMDR, and client-centered work when helpful. The goal is to combine concrete coping skills with attention to values and relationships. Shannon asks about daily routines and goals so he can suggest small, manageable changes.

He is based in Georgia and works with people in English. Before beginning, people complete a short matching questionnaire to help schedule sessions that fit their needs. Costs vary with location and session arrangements and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How these approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice what matters to them and take small steps toward those values while tolerating uncomfortable feelings. It often helps with anxiety, depression, and life transitions by shifting focus from symptom control to meaningful action. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, mood concerns, and sleep or eating issues. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how relationships and early bonds shape current reactions and can help with intimacy issues, trust, and connection concerns.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will ask about goals, daily routines, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they try methods and adjust the plan based on what fits the person's needs and preferences.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example a shorter check-in during a work break, or a session that avoids travel time. Online sessions also allow practicing skills in everyday settings and reviewing homework between meetings. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT and CBT tools effectively to remote settings, focusing on skill practice, values work, and tracking progress over time.
