About Shannon
Shannon Long is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people manage stress, anxiety, ADHD-related challenges, mood concerns, and family difficulties. She speaks plainly and keeps sessions focused on practical steps parents and individuals can use. Her style centers on respect, sensitivity, and a nonjudgmental attitude.
Shannon earned a master’s degree in counseling and has practiced for 11 years. She has worked with people facing trauma, depression, bipolar disorder, anger, eating concerns, and addictive behaviors.
Background and approach
She has also supported those navigating identity questions, grief, and life transitions. Her approach draws largely from client-centered work and cognitive behavioral techniques. That means conversations are shaped around a person’s goals, and they include hands-on strategies for thinking and behavior.
She also uses mindfulness and solution-focused methods when they fit the situation. Shannon has experience running individual and group sessions and has worked across a range of ages. She tailors each plan to the person in front of her rather than applying one fixed method.
The result is a straightforward, goal-oriented process that aims to build coping skills and clearer routines. People who prefer a practical, empathetic therapist often find her helpful. She accepts clients in English and works from South Carolina while also supporting international clients through online formats.
To begin, a short matching questionnaire and scheduling step connect people to sessions.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Shannon often uses client-centered methods that focus on listening, understanding each person's priorities, and shaping conversations around their goals. This approach helps when someone needs support sorting values, parenting choices, or relationship communication.She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches concrete skills for changing unhelpful patterns. CBT is useful for anxiety, mood shifts, stress, and the practical routines that often affect ADHD and daily functioning.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Shannon collaborates with people to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. She adjusts techniques over time so sessions remain focused and useful.
Online therapy formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and screen sharing for worksheets. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging are helpful for quick reflections, tracking progress, or when someone prefers typed communication. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to maintain continuity when travel or life changes make in-person visits difficult.
