Shannon Nelson, LPCC

Shannon Nelson is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) practicing in California. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, depression, and challenges related to attention and impulse control. Shannon frames the first step toward change as an act of courage and offers steady support as people begin that work. Shannon draws on a mix of practical approaches to guide sessions. She centers conversations on each person's story and strengths. Sessions focus on building concrete skills for managing strong emotions, improving day-to-day functioning, and increasing confidence. Her recent work includes time in school settings supporting children, teens, and young adults with autism spectrum differences, ADHD, anxiety, and depression. That background informs a calm, patient style and an emphasis on clear strategies that can be used at home, school, or work. In the room she listens first and asks questions that help people name patterns. Together she and the client set small, achievable goals and track progress over time. Techniques commonly used include cognitive behavior ideas to shift unhelpful thoughts and narrative work to reframe personal stories. Shannon focuses on practical change and on building coping tools for everyday life. She also pays attention to relationships and attachment patterns when those issues matter. People who want a supportive, straightforward approach to managing mood, motivation, or attention often choose to start here.
