About Shannon
Shannon Williams is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Georgia with three years of clinical experience. He works with adults on issues such as stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship strains, trauma, depression, and anger. Shannon also supports people navigating grief, parenting pressures, career challenges, and attention-related concerns.
Shannon uses practical, straightforward talk in sessions. He draws on cognitive and behavioral methods to help people notice patterns, try new responses, and manage intense feelings. He also uses acceptance-based ideas to help clients decide what matters most and work toward those values despite strong emotions.
His background includes work in private practice and inpatient addiction and mental health settings. He has served as a liaison therapist for juvenile justice and child welfare agencies, and has experience in youth residential homes and church youth programs. That range gave him regular experience with diverse ages and life situations.
Shannon describes himself as a clear communicator and motivator who brings creative ideas to client interaction. He writes about motivation and resilience and has published a book on coping with life’s storms. He also runs a motivational blog and continues to develop practical tools for people dealing with stress and difficult emotions.
In sessions clients can expect a direct, goal-minded approach. Shannon will work with a person to map out triggers, practice new coping responses, and set concrete steps to reduce reactivity and rebuild strained relationships. He encourages straightforward conversation and practical skill building.
How his approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings while focusing on values-based actions. It is often used when someone wants to reduce struggling with emotions and live in line with what matters to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing new behaviors to change feelings and outcomes. CBT can help with anger that comes from distorted thinking or automatic reactions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches specific skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. These skills are useful when anger feels overwhelming or strains relationships.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Shannon will treat approach selection as a collaborative process based on your goals, what has or hasn’t worked before, and your preferences. He may combine elements from ACT, CBT, and DBT so sessions focus on skills, values, and clearer thinking together.
