About Shannon
Shannon Lloyd is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 16 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, anger, grief, and parenting concerns. She practices in Mississippi and offers services to English-speaking clients, including international clients. Shannon aims to make therapy straightforward and practical for people juggling busy lives.
Her approach is warm and empathetic. She centers sessions on the person in front of her and uses clear, goal-focused methods to address immediate problems.
Background and approach
Shannon blends client-centered listening with techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and emotion-focused work to help clients notice patterns, try different responses, and practice new skills. Shannon has worked in a variety of counseling settings and with a range of cultural backgrounds. That experience informs how she adapts strategies to fit each person's life, values, and daily constraints.
She pays attention to family dynamics, attachment concerns, adoption and foster care questions, and other lived realities that affect parenting and relationships. Sessions are practical and rooted in everyday life. Clients can expect to talk through recent challenges, identify small steps to try between meetings, and refine what works.
Shannon also draws on mindfulness and narrative approaches when it helps people reframe difficult stories and reduce intense reactions. She encourages people to bring their real concerns into the room. The focus is on clear goals, steady progress, and building coping skills that fit the demands of parenting, work, and day-to-day life.

Therapeutic approaches for online parenting support
Shannon commonly uses client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy in online work. Client-centered therapy focuses on active listening, empathy, and helping people feel heard so they can make choices that fit their values. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at thoughts and behaviors together and offers concrete tools to reduce anxiety, manage anger, and change unhelpful patterns.She also uses emotion-focused elements when strong feelings drive conflicts or parenting stress. That approach helps people name emotions, understand what they trigger, and practice responses that reduce escalation. Together these methods help with common parenting worries, relationship tension, and coping with life changes in practical ways.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to identify what feels most helpful based on each person's goals and preferences. Techniques can be adjusted over time as circumstances change and as clients try different strategies between sessions.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit busy schedules. Video is useful for in-depth conversations and visual cues, phone calls are a good low-bandwidth option, live chat can suit brief check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These formats make it easier to keep continuity of care while balancing work, parenting, and other commitments.
