Shannon Long

Shannon Long is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who focuses on helping people facing stress, anxiety, grief, and eating and food-related issues. She aims to create a calm, respectful space where clients can talk through what’s happening and start to feel more in control. Her style is straightforward and practical, shaped by more than a decade of counseling experience.

Shannon uses conversations that center on the person and on changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She often combines client-centered listening with cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness tools. These approaches are used to address mood concerns, trauma, anger, and problems with self-esteem and body image.

Her background includes work across different settings and age ranges, and she has offered individual and group services. Her training has covered topics such as trauma, autism spectrum needs, parenting programs, and a range of mood and behavior concerns. This variety informs how she adapts sessions to each person’s situation.

Shannon works from a plan that is shaped by what the client wants to achieve. Sessions typically focus on clear goals, small steps, and skills people can use between meetings. She also pays attention to relationship and family stressors when those issues affect an individual’s well-being.

She practices in South Carolina and conducts sessions in English. The process for starting includes a brief matching questionnaire and scheduling through the Start Therapy flow. Fees vary by location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How Shannon’s approaches translate to online work

Shannon commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, acceptance, and following the client’s lead so sessions reflect each person’s priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change patterns that cause distress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Shannon will collaborate with each person to choose or combine approaches based on goals, needs, and personal preferences. That means trying techniques, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan over time.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, reduce travel time, and allow brief check-ins when needed. They can also let people use mindfulness exercises, thought-record tools, and behavior-change strategies in the actual contexts where struggles occur.
