Hello!!! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Mississippi as well as a National Certified Counselor with over 16 years experience in providing individual, family and group counseling. I have experience working with clients ages 3 to adulthood with a multitude of presenting issues such as developmental delays, trauma, depression, anxiety, grief, loss, anger management, life changes, self esteem and identify issues as well as relationship and family issues. I have also worked in many different counseling settings and have experience working with culturally diverse clients.

My counseling style is warm, and emphatic, it is influenced by Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT). My approach combines client centered therapy and structured family therapy along with goal oriented, and solution focused therapy to highlight ones strengths to help my client become the best version of themselves and do so authentically. I believe everyone is unique and should have a unique counseling experience tailored to them where they can work through life’s challenges. I look forward to the opportunity to work with you in a safe, nonjudgmental, compassionate and nurturing space to help you achieve your identified goals to become the best version of yourself with dignity and respect

It takes courage to reach out and I am here to provide you with the safe space you need to be vulnerable and to begin to heal.

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

I've been working with Shannon for over a year now. Shannon has helped me so much with learning to navigate depression, the consequences and symptoms of it, I truly don't know where to begin. She is able to connect with you on a human level, while guiding you to unknot your thoughts/feelings so you process things more logically. She has given me practical steps to manage all different situations, guidance to process things better mentally and emotionally, advice and tools now to to learn to build back my confidence and make better decisions in order to create long lasting habits. I feel I am getting there. I truly know that I wouldn't have been able to overcome dozens of situations if it wasnt for the work Ive been doing with Shannon. I truly appreciate what she does and I always talk about betterhelp because of my work with her! So internally grateful I got matched with her <3

Shannon seems like a lovely person and most importantly I feel incredibly comfortable talking to her. We are just getting started but I have already found our chats very useful. I look forward to how we continue in the future. To get the most out of betterhelp, I would like to use the messaging more in between our weekly call, but our time difference doesn't match up well. Still I will continue to use the journalling section and as we move forward hope to get more advice or goals for the days I struggle. Thanks, Shannon!
