About Shannon
Shannon Mott is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship strain, and challenges related to ADHD. She brings nine years of experience and aims to make therapy straightforward and practical. Conversations are direct and compassionate, focused on what’s happening now and what can change next.
Shannon listens for each person's strengths and daily routines. She uses simple tools to reduce overwhelm and improve sleep, focus, and mood.
Background and approach
Sessions often include concrete strategies clients can try between meetings and space to process difficult feelings. Her approach mixes emotion-focused work with practical thinking exercises. That means addressing painful patterns while also testing new ways of coping.
Clients learn small steps to shift reactions and build steady habits over time. Shannon pays attention to cultural background and identity. She aims to make the room inclusive and to tailor suggestions to each person’s life and values.
Topics she commonly supports include grief, addiction, parenting strain, career stress, and intimacy concerns. Clients can expect a collaborative relationship where goals are set together. Shannon emphasizes realistic changes that fit everyday life.
Her practice welcomes people who want clear tools and consistent support as they work through change.
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small committed actions toward them. It helps people stuck in avoidance or worry to build a life that feels meaningful despite difficult thoughts and feelings.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical tools to test and change unhelpful patterns. It often helps with anxiety, mood struggles, sleep problems, and focus difficulties like those people with ADHD experience.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Shannon will collaborate to choose which methods fit a person's goals, needs, and daily life. That might mean combining ACT and CBT techniques or shifting focus as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to stay connected. Video calls allow face-to-face conversations and skill demonstrations. Phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth or scheduling makes video hard. Live chat and text-based messaging let people check in between appointments, send quick updates, or use brief coaching when a full session isn't needed.
These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care across work, caregiving, and travel. Shannon adapts exercises and homework so they work in whatever format a person prefers, helping therapy fit into real life rather than disrupt it.
