Shannon White, LPC

Shannon White is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Alabama who helps people manage stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, career concerns, and life changes. She focuses on practical support and coaching to help clients build confidence and daily coping skills. Shannon sees each person as the expert on their own life and draws on their strengths to make change possible.

She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people notice how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. That often leads to small, doable changes that reduce worry and improve mood. She also practices client-centered methods, which means sessions follow what matters most to the person in front of her.

Mindfulness techniques are part of her approach when slowing down and noticing the present moment can help with anxiety or chronic pain. Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Therapy are used to clarify goals and find concrete next steps when motivation or direction feels difficult.

Shannon draws on eleven years of experience to offer a steady, encouraging presence. She aims to make therapy straightforward and goal-focused, while still listening carefully to each person’s story. That balance helps people move from feeling stuck to taking practical steps forward.

Her practice also addresses a wide range of related concerns, including attachment issues, autism and Asperger syndrome, body image, chronic illness and disability, communication problems, control issues, divorce and separation, family conflict, guilt and shame, impulsivity, intellectual disability, isolation, jealousy, and questions about life purpose.

How her approaches work in online therapy

Shannon combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and client-centered methods to create a practical online practice. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety or improve mood. Client-centered work keeps the session focused on each person’s priorities and builds on their existing strengths.

She also uses mindfulness techniques to teach simple ways to notice the body and breath, which can help with anxiety or persistent pain. These approaches are explained and practiced together so people can see what fits best for their needs and goals. Finding the right mix is a collaborative process that Shannon guides based on what the client wants to accomplish.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for real-time conversation and exercises, phone calls can work when bandwidth is limited, live chat is helpful for shorter check-ins, and text messaging lets people reflect between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while still working toward clear, practical goals.
