About Shannon
Shannon Lloyd is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Mississippi who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship strain, and challenges connected to adoption and foster care. She draws on 16 years of experience to offer steady support during hard transitions. Her style is warm and empathic, aimed at making it easier to talk about difficult feelings.
Shannon uses practical, goal-focused methods rooted in cognitive-behavioral ideas. She also centers each person’s perspective through client-centered work and brings narrative tools to help people rewrite difficult stories they carry. Sessions focus on clear steps you can try between meetings and on recognizing strengths that already exist.
She has worked in a range of counseling settings and with people from diverse cultural backgrounds. That background informs how she listens for family of origin issues, attachment concerns, or the effects of discrimination and multicultural stress. Her experience includes addressing obsessive thoughts and compulsions, ADHD-related struggles, anger, and identity questions.
Shannon tries to keep therapy practical and respectful. She helps people set achievable goals, test small changes, and build healthier patterns in relationships and daily life. Many clients work on coping skills, emotional regulation, and rebuilding trust after loss or abandonment.
To begin, she asks about what matters most to you and what has felt hard so far. The first sessions are used to map goals and choose approaches that fit each person’s needs and preferences.
How therapy methods translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s own goals and experiences and focuses on attentive listening and identifying what matters most. It helps people feel heard and guides decisions about what to work on. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and offers practical exercises to test new ways of thinking and acting when anxiety, anger, or depression get in the way. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people notice and name emotions and improves how they respond in important relationships.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk through your goals and preferences and recommend which methods to try first. It’s normal to try a few techniques and adjust as you learn what fits best for your situation.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know how sessions are delivered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, shorten travel time, and allow a quicker check-in during stressful periods. It also makes regular meetings more possible for people who live far from a counselor in Mississippi or who are working across time zones. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT or client-centered exercises to an online setting so people can practice skills between sessions and track changes over time.
