About Shannon

Shannon Lloyd is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 16 years of experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, anger, relationship strain, parenting challenges, trauma, grief, ADHD, and identity concerns. Shannon lists family and parenting among her focus areas and brings a warm, empathic presence to sessions.

Her approach centers on practical, real-world steps. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - CBT - to spot unhelpful thinking and try different responses.

Background and approach

She also uses Client-Centered Therapy to follow each person’s pace and priorities. Narrative therapy ideas help people reframe painful stories about themselves. Sessions are goal-minded and focused on building strengths.

Shannon often blends structured ideas with listening and reflection. She works with clients to set clear, achievable goals and to practice new skills between meetings. Her background includes work in a variety of counseling settings and with culturally diverse clients.

Shannon’s license is LPC, and she practices in Mississippi. She communicates plainly and aims to make therapy feel down-to-earth and useful rather than overly clinical. Shannon emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental space.

She encourages openness and steady progress. Reaching out is framed as a courageous first step toward manageable change.

Online approaches that fit family and life needs

Shannon commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - CBT - and Client-Centered Therapy when working online. CBT focuses on identifying patterns of thinking that keep problems going and practicing alternative ways of thinking and behaving; it is often helpful for anxiety, depression, and stress. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person nd their goals, offering a supportive space to talk things through and build self-directed solutions.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Shannon will talk with each person about what they hope to change and try methods that match those goals. Together they adjust pacing and techniques so the work fits daily life and family routines.

Online sessions include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, to check in between meetings, and to continue work when in-person meetings are not possible. The mix of methods supports consistent progress while accommodating different comfort levels with technology.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT)

Attends to the emotions underneath a recurring argument or distance, and to the attachment needs driving them. Often used where a relationship keeps returning to the same painful loop.
