About Shannon
Shannon Long is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in South Carolina who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and parenting concerns. She offers a calm, respectful approach that avoids stigmatizing labels and focuses on each person’s needs. Her style is practical and straightforward, aimed at making therapy useful in everyday life.
Shannon uses Client-Centered Therapy to keep conversations focused on what matters most to the client. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness techniques to help people change unhelpful thoughts and practice new coping habits. This mix is intended to be flexible and responsive to different concerns.
Her background includes work with a wide range of issues such as trauma and abuse, bipolar disorder, ADHD, eating-related concerns, grief, and identity questions. She has experience supporting people through family problems, adoption and foster care issues, attachment worries, and challenges related to caregiving and blended family dynamics.
Shannon completed a Master’s degree in Counseling and has been licensed as an LPC since 2011, bringing 11 years of experience to her work. She has provided services to children and adults and has led group programs as well as individual sessions.
Her approach emphasizes collaboration - tailoring conversations and goals to each person. She invites prospective clients to start with a brief matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions that fit their needs.
Approaches that shape online work
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and following the client’s lead, focusing on what they want to change and how they want to grow. It’s useful for people who need a supportive space to talk through difficult feelings and decisions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify thought patterns that can make anxiety, depression, or anger worse and then practices new ways of thinking and acting. It often suits people who want concrete strategies and short-term goals.
Mindfulness Therapy adds simple attention and breathing practices to help with emotion regulation and stress management. This can help with ongoing anxiety, racing thoughts, and staying grounded during life changes.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which combination of methods fits their needs, goals, and preferences. That choice can change as progress is made and new priorities emerge.
Session logistics should fit into everyday life. Because the original biography does not list specific session formats, confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. A therapist and client can adapt pacing, homework, and practice exercises so therapy feels useful and manageable.
