Shannon Lloyd, LPC

Shannon Lloyd is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Mississippi who helps people manage stress and anxiety alongside other concerns like depression, grief, anger, and relationship strain. She draws on 16 years of experience to offer steady, practical support when life feels overwhelming. Shannon aims to create a calm, respectful setting where someone can talk through what’s most pressing and take small steps forward.

Her work favors clear, goal-focused conversations that break problems into manageable pieces. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and client-centered listening to help people spot unhelpful patterns and try different ways of coping. Mindfulness and narrative approaches are also part of her toolbox when helpful for grounding or reshaping personal stories.

Shannon has experience in varied counseling settings and with culturally diverse clients. That background informs how she pays attention to each person’s context and values. She describes her style as warm and empathetic, aiming to highlight strengths and build practical skills.

Her sessions focus on real-life concerns like parenting stress, work pressure, identity questions, ADHD-related challenges, and recovery from trauma or loss. She works with people addressing family-of-origin issues, attachment concerns, and obstacles like jealousy or control struggles.

Shannon asks clients to set clear goals and to be active partners in planning change. She encourages honest conversation, steady progress, and respect for the person’s own pace and priorities.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's experience. The therapist follows the client's lead, reflecting feelings and building trust so someone can talk through what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and uses clear exercises to practice different responses to stress and anxiety. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people identify and communicate emotions that underlie relationship patterns and repair connection where possible.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist and client will talk about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they decide whether a more structured CBT plan, a listening-centered client-focused path, or a focus on emotions fits best. That choice can change as progress is made.

The original biography does not specify which session formats are used, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy routine, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins or flexible scheduling. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, mindfulness practices, and narrative work to an online setting so progress continues even when meeting remotely.
