About Shannon

Shannon White is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Alabama who helps people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, career uncertainty, and major life changes. She focuses on practical steps that build confidence and motivation. Shannon frames clients as experts in their own story and works to support their goals with respect and encouragement.

She uses conversational, goal-focused sessions that aim to identify strengths and small changes that make daily life easier. Shannon often blends approaches like cognitive behavioral work and mindfulness to help clients notice unhelpful thoughts, try new behaviors, and slow down thoughts that feel overwhelming.

Shannon also brings motivational interviewing and solution-focused ideas into sessions. These approaches help people find what matters most and set realistic, short-term steps toward those aims. She listens for what the client values and then helps translate that into manageable goals.

Her background includes 11 years of professional experience working with people on emotional regulation, communication struggles, and life transitions. Shannon has particular experience supporting those dealing with attachment issues, body image, chronic illness or disability, and aspects of intellectual and developmental differences.

Sessions are conversational and paced to the client's needs. Shannon aims to build confidence and coping skills through steady, practical work rather than quick fixes. Prospective clients should confirm session options and scheduling when they book.

Therapeutic approaches and how they fit online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client's lead. The therapist creates space for people to tell their story and guides conversations toward what matters most to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and helps people try small behavioral experiments to shift patterns. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase calm.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Shannon will collaborate with each person to decide which methods suit their goals and temperament. That could mean starting with problem-solving steps or using mindfulness exercises, then adjusting as needs change.

Session formats are not specified here, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. For many people, remote sessions make it simpler to maintain consistency and carry new skills into daily routines, while still working closely with a licensed professional on practical goals.
