Shannon Lloyd, LPC

Shannon Lloyd is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) based in Mississippi who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, anger, parenting strains, grief, trauma, ADHD concerns, and issues around identity and relationships. She uses straightforward language and a warm style to make hard conversations easier to start.

She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also uses client-centered and emotionally-focused ideas to keep sessions personal and compassionate. Mindfulness and narrative tools are added when they help someone slow down or reframe difficult experiences.

Shannon prefers a practical, goal-minded approach. Sessions often include setting small steps, practicing coping skills, and talking through patterns that cause pain. She highlights strengths and builds on what already works for each person rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan.

Her background includes 16 years of counseling experience in a range of settings and work with culturally diverse people. That history informs how she listens for the details behind a problem and adjusts what she offers to meet real-life needs.

Shannon aims to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space where people can be honest and start solving the issues that brought them in. She guides each conversation toward practical tools and clearer next steps so progress feels manageable and real.

How Shannon blends therapy approaches online

Shannon often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, anger, and many everyday worries because it gives concrete tools and small steps to practice between sessions.

She pairs that with Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on listening, acceptance, and following the client’s pace. That approach helps people feel heard and valued while they set goals and try new skills. She also draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy when relationship patterns or attachment needs are the main concern, helping people name feelings and shift how they respond to others.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Shannon collaborates with each person to decide what feels most useful based on their goals, needs, and preferences, and she adjusts methods as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video works well for longer sessions and visual cues, phone is helpful when bandwidth is limited, chat and messaging let people check in between sessions or fit a short appointment into a busy day. These options make it easier to keep momentum and practice skills in real life.
