About Shannon
Shannon White is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Alabama with 11 years of experience. She helps people manage stress and anxiety, build self-esteem and confidence, find direction in their careers, and cope with life changes. Her work also includes coaching and addressing guilt and shame alongside related concerns.
Shannon approaches therapy from a client-centered perspective, meaning she treats the person’s goals and experience as the starting point. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and to try new behaviors. Mindfulness techniques are used to bring attention into the present and reduce rumination.
She often blends practical, goal-focused methods like solution-focused therapy and motivational interviewing. Those approaches are used to clarify small steps, boost motivation, and keep progress measurable. Sessions tend to look like short-term problem solving alongside deeper talk about values and patterns.
Shannon speaks plainly in sessions and invites people to notice strengths they already have. She avoids jargon and helps people test small changes between meetings. That can include short exercises, thought records, or mindful practices to try in daily life.
People commonly explore attachment concerns, communication problems, body image, chronic health challenges, impulsivity, and issues around forgiveness, guilt, and shame. Shannon also works with clients affected by autism spectrum conditions and intellectual disability, helping to shape practical coping strategies and clearer goals.
How her approaches translate to online work
Shannon draws on Client-Centered Therapy to follow the client’s concerns and goals, helping people speak about what matters and decide next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and test behavior changes with concrete exercises that can be done between sessions. Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. She will review your goals, try methods that fit your needs, and adjust as you go. That helps keep sessions practical and focused on everyday changes rather than on labels. The therapist’s biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a weekday break, reduce travel time, or allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also supports using worksheets, thought records, and guided mindfulness practices during and between meetings to help apply changes in daily life.Areas of expertise
