About Shanton

Shanton Roberson is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, relationship difficulties, and trauma. She uses a straightforward, strengths-focused style and encourages practical steps parents and adults can take right away. Shanton works in Alabama and brings 13 years of mental health experience to sessions.

She holds LICSW and LCSW credentials - Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker and Licensed Clinical Social Worker. Shanton believes clients know their own stories and builds on what already works for them.

Background and approach

Sessions tend to focus on clear goals, small changes, and skills you can use day to day. She listens for patterns around mood, impulse control, grief, and relationship communication, then helps people try new ways of coping. Her background includes work with mood disorders, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, and addiction.

She has experience addressing issues such as postpartum depression, panic attacks, and grief. Shanton also works with concerns tied to identity and multicultural stress. In the room she keeps language plain and practical.

Expect talk that moves from problem to action - learning a new skill, trying a different response, or practicing a conversation. The aim is steady progress rather than quick fixes. Shanton offers sessions through video, phone, live chat, and text messaging.

She uses a subscription model for sessions that can be canceled at any time, and therapy can be scheduled after completing a short matching questionnaire and choosing a time that fits.

Approaches that translate well to online therapy

Shanton uses evidence-based techniques that focus on practical skills and clear goals. One approach emphasizes building coping skills for anxiety and mood symptoms - teaching breathing, grounding, and simple behavior changes to reduce panic and low mood. Another approach targets trauma and stress by helping people name what happened, manage strong feelings, and regain control over daily routines. Both approaches aim to give concrete tools that can be practiced between sessions.

Choosing the right method is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what feels helpful. Together they decide which techniques to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy offers flexibility and easier access to regular support. Video calls let you talk face to face when that helps, while phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging provide shorter check-ins or ongoing prompts. These options make it easier to fit skill practice and check-ins into a busy family schedule and to keep momentum between meetings.
