About Shannon
Shannon Lloyd is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Mississippi with 16 years of clinical experience. She supports people coping with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, relationship strain, parenting concerns, ADHD, and identity questions including LGBT issues. Her approach aims to help people manage anger, rebuild self-esteem, and find practical ways to cope with life changes.
Shannon uses a warm, empathic style that centers the client's goals. Client-Centered Therapy is a core part of her work, where the person’s perspective leads the pace and focus of sessions. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify patterns of thinking that keep problems going, and on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to address intense feelings in close relationships.
She has worked in a range of counseling settings and with culturally diverse people. That background informs how she tailors sessions to each person’s situation and values. Shannon emphasizes small, achievable goals and straightforward tools that can be used between meetings.
Sessions aim to highlight strengths and practical steps for change rather than labels. The work is collaborative - clients set priorities and Shannon helps map ways to reach them. She invites folks to take the first step when they feel ready.
Shannon graduated with a Master of Science and holds the LPC credential. She offers sessions in English and accepts international clients; scheduling follows the sign-up and matching process on the site.
How these approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s experience and priorities, allowing sessions to move at a comfortable pace and follow what matters most to the client. This approach helps when someone needs a listening space to sort through feelings and choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses concrete exercises to test new ways of thinking. CBT can be useful for anxiety, depression, and habit patterns that create daily stress. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people notice and name intense emotions so they can respond to them differently, which is helpful for relationship strain and strong emotional reactions.Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, past experiences, and preferences to decide which methods to try first. Plans can change as work progresses, and techniques are adjusted to fit what the person finds most useful.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into a busy day, allow for shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove travel time. Online work still focuses on practical tools, goal setting, and regular check-ins to track progress, with the therapist helping adapt exercises to fit everyday life.
