Savanna Cannon, LICSW

Savanna Cannon is a licensed independent clinical social worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, and major life changes. She speaks plainly and listens closely to what matters most to each person. Her approach aims to make therapy feel like a practical conversation instead of a lecture.

She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to notice patterns of thinking and behavior that get in the way. Motivational Interviewing is used to explore what matters to a person and to build momentum toward change. Sessions focus on clear goals, small steps, and skills that can be used between meetings.

Over eight years of clinical work have included supporting people through loss, compassion fatigue, addiction concerns, and anger management. She also addresses relationship and family concerns, communication problems, guilt, shame, and issues around forgiveness and self-love. Hospice and end-of-life counseling are part of her experience as well.

In sessions she creates a calm, nonjudgmental space for people to talk through painful topics. Conversations are practical and grounded in daily life, with tools tailored to each person’s needs. The aim is to help people return to activities they value and to feel more able to cope.

She practices in Alabama and conducts sessions in English. People can expect a straightforward, goal-oriented style that balances problem-solving with emotional support.

CBT and Motivational Interviewing for online care

Savanna uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and habits and to practice different responses. CBT breaks problems into actionable steps so people can test small changes and track progress over time.

She also uses Motivational Interviewing to explore what matters most to each person and to build internal motivation for change. This approach is conversational and helps people set realistic goals that fit their values.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. She will work with clients to decide which methods fit their goals and needs, and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video is useful for in-depth work and skill practice, phone can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging can fit brief check-ins or busy schedules. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or daily routines while maintaining continuity of care.
