Shannon Williams, LPC

Shannon Williams is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, and other life changes. He works with individuals navigating relationship struggles, parenting concerns, sleep and eating issues, and challenges linked to aging and geriatric issues. Shannon aims for clear, practical conversations that move a person forward.

He brings three years of counseling experience across settings such as private practice, a drug addiction and mental health hospital, and youth services. That variety gives him hands-on familiarity with people at different stages of life, including older adults and caregivers. He also has experience supporting people with ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, trauma and abuse, and compassion fatigue.

In sessions Shannon uses approaches like cognitive behavioral techniques, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-informed work, and skills from dialectical behavior therapy. He focuses on concrete tools - for example, strategies to manage overwhelming thoughts, steps to improve daily routines, and ways to rebuild strained communication. The goal is practical change, not jargon.

Shannon describes himself as a strong listener and communicator who prefers an inventive, client-focused style. He draws on creative ideas and real-world problem solving to tailor sessions to each person's needs. Outside of clinical work he writes about motivation and resilience and has published a book.

People interested in starting can expect straightforward assessment and collaborative plan-setting. Shannon conducts sessions in English and accepts international clients, and he works with people to set goals that fit their daily life.

Therapeutic approaches that translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts without getting ruled by them and commit to actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical techniques to change unhelpful patterns. It helps with mood, sleeping, and daily functioning. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at relationship patterns learned early in life and helps people use new ways of relating that reduce conflict and improve closeness.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and try methods that fit each person. Sessions are collaborative and adjusted over time based on what is helping and what feels doable.

The biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a day, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and remove travel time. It also lets people use written tools and homework between sessions to practice skills in real life. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT and CBT techniques effectively in remote sessions to support change without promising specific outcomes.
