Shannon Williams, LPC

Shannon Williams is an LPC who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, and relationship or intimacy concerns. He works with adults across many backgrounds, and supports those coping with trauma, mood changes, ADHD, and challenges tied to parenting and work. Shannon writes plainly and focuses on practical steps people can use between sessions.

He blends several approaches to fit each person’s needs. Shannon uses techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy to spot and change unhelpful thinking patterns. He draws on acceptance and commitment strategies to help people notice difficult feelings without getting stuck. Attachment-based ideas guide conversations about relationship patterns and how those shape current struggles.

Shannon has worked in private practice, a drug addiction and mental health hospital, and as a liaison for juvenile justice and child welfare systems. He has experience supporting people across the lifespan, including young people, adults, elderly clients, and those with disabilities or substance use concerns. His background includes time as a church youth counselor and work in homes for troubled youth.

Sessions tend to focus on clear goals, skills practice, and short-term strategies that fit daily life. Shannon emphasizes listening first, then offering tools that people can try between meetings. He also brings motivational support and coaching when clients want help taking concrete steps.

Outside of counseling, Shannon enjoys exercise, reading, and writing. He runs a motivational blog and is a published author, which he says keeps him connected to the ideas he brings into sessions.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Shannon uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice and change thinking patterns that fuel anxiety, low mood, or unhelpful behaviors. CBT is hands-on and focuses on small changes that can improve daily functioning.

He also uses acceptance and commitment therapy, which helps people make space for difficult emotions while moving toward what matters most. ACT can be useful for stress, addiction-related urges, and coping with life changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic work. Shannon will listen to your concerns, discuss goals, and together choose methods that fit your needs and preferences. That collaborative process makes it easier to try strategies and adjust them over time.

The practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into busy schedules and avoiding travel time, which can make regular meetings easier to keep. Online appointments may also allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people choose options that match their energy level or bandwidth. The therapist's profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking to make sure they work with your routine.
