About Shannon
Shannon Long is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, anger, and life transitions. She writes plans with each person that match their goals. Shannon keeps language simple and practical so busy parents and adults can use what they learn right away.
She uses approaches such as Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to make sessions straightforward. That means conversations center on the person in front of her and on changing thoughts and behaviors that cause distress.
Background and approach
Mindfulness and solution-focused ideas are also part of her work when they fit a person's needs. Shannon has about 11 years of experience and practices in South Carolina. Her background includes work with a wide range of concerns - from trauma and grief to parenting stress, addictions, and mood issues.
She has supported people dealing with ADHD, bipolar symptoms, eating concerns, and gender identity questions among other issues. Sessions are adapted to each person. Some people prefer focused steps and homework, while others start by talking through recent problems and building safety and coping.
Shannon aims to reduce stigma and treat people with respect and compassion throughout the process. She offers several online formats so people can choose what fits their schedule and needs. Work begins with a short matching questionnaire and scheduling the first session to set goals and expectations.

How therapy approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person and their experience, with the therapist listening and guiding conversations toward the client's goals. It helps people feel heard and decide what changes matter most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors affect feelings and teaches practical steps to change them; CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, anger, and many day-to-day problems.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Shannon will discuss what feels most helpful and adapt methods based on the client's goals and preferences. The decision is collaborative and can change over time as needs shift.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which let people match therapy to their routine. Video sessions work well for deeper conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for short reflections, timely coaching, or when writing things down helps the person process. These options make scheduling easier and can help therapy fit around work, school, and family life.
