About Shannon
Shannon Long is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who focuses on practical support for parents and caregivers. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, grief, and changes in family life. Shannon writes straightforward plans and uses clear tools so parents can try things between sessions.
She brings 11 years of clinical experience in a range of settings. Her work has included supporting people with trauma, depression, anger, bipolar disorder, ADHD, eating concerns, and gender identity questions.
Background and approach
She has also worked with adoption and foster care matters, attachment issues, blended family dynamics, and caregivers under strain. Shannon tends to use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Mindfulness techniques. That means she helps clients notice unhelpful thoughts, practice new responses, and build small habits that add up.
Sessions focus on concrete skills, problem solving, and making changes that fit daily life. She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make scheduling easier for busy caregivers. Sessions are offered in English and Shannon accepts international clients.
Her practice is based in South Carolina and she holds an LPC license. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule according to availability. The subscription model used for sessions can be canceled at any time, and fees vary with location and therapist availability.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Shannon commonly blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy to help parents and caregivers. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to change how someone feels. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress that gets in the way of parenting. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes respectful listening and helping clients find their own solutions, which supports self-esteem and decision-making.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will talk with each person about goals and preferences, and then try methods that fit those needs. That collaborative process means techniques can be adjusted based on what works in a client's daily life.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video is helpful for deeper conversations and practicing skills in real time. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier for quick check-ins. Live chat or text messaging lets parents fit short updates or coaching into busy days without a full session.
