Shannon Wise

Shannon Wise is a Licensed Professional Counselor in Alabama (AL LPC LPC03571) with 10 years of clinical experience. She focuses on concerns such as stress and anxiety, relationship challenges, sleep difficulties, anger management, depression, family issues, grief, self-esteem, and bipolar disorder, and identifies as a female, Christian, older, conservative therapist.

Shannon approaches each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and she tailors conversations and treatment plans to match individual needs. She believes the decision to seek a more fulfilling and happier life requires courage, and she supports clients as they take that first step and continue forward.

Her professional background includes about five years working as a Therapist Acute with voluntary and involuntary clients hospitalized during crises to help stabilize and reintegrate them into daily routines. She subsequently spent about four years as a Mental Health Professional in a correctional facility, providing treatment team support for stress management, assessing needs for medication referrals, and implementing interventions for safety precautions or assignments to special observation housing for clients with chronic symptoms. More recently she has worked over a year in private practice in the community, serving adults, teens, and couples.

Shannon offers integrative guidance using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to support emotional regulation and conflict resolution, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) to teach coping skills for relaxation, grounding, and distress tolerance, and Reality Therapy for goal setting and practical interventions that promote personal growth. She works collaboratively to set goals, monitor incremental progress, and help clients increase self-awareness, validation, and empowerment to improve quality of life and pursue their priorities.
