Shannon Mott, LCSW

Shannon Mott is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker - LCSW - who focuses on helping people manage depression, anxiety, relationship dynamics, trauma recovery, and life transitions. She emphasizes culturally responsive and inclusive care, meeting each person where they are and honoring individual strengths and experiences.

Her practice centers on guiding clients through complex emotional challenges such as social anxiety, workplace stress, shifting family roles, and questions of personal identity. She brings particular attention to multicultural concerns, women's issues, and the transitions faced by young adults, using collaborative, evidence-based techniques to support growth.

Shannon aims to empower clients to develop greater self-understanding, build resilience, and make meaningful changes at a pace that feels right for them. She approaches therapy with empathy, respect, and professional guidance, walking alongside clients as they work toward clearer goals and improved well-being.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Shannon Mott uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients notice unhelpful patterns, clarify personal values, and take practical steps toward a more meaningful life. ACT can be useful for anxiety, stress, and situations where values-driven action matters.

She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early relationships shape current bonds and emotional responses, which can be helpful for relationship challenges, intimacy issues, and patterns of connection or avoidance.

Client-Centered Therapy is another core approach, offering a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the client leads the work and the therapist provides empathy and support. This approach supports self-exploration, self-esteem, and navigating life transitions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Shannon collaborates with each client to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques over time as priorities and circumstances change.

Online therapy with licensed professionals offers flexibility - sessions can happen by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to schedule care around work, family, and daily life. Remote options also increase accessibility for those who live far from a therapist or prefer the convenience of meeting from home, while still receiving structured, focused support from a trained therapist.
