About Shanton

LICSW and LCSW licensed in Alabama with 13 years of experience, Shanton Roberson helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, and mood concerns. She also addresses parenting, grief, LGBT issues, self-esteem, career strain, ADHD, and other areas such as abandonment, adoption and foster care, and body image. Sessions focus on practical steps and steady progress rather than jargon. Shanton speaks English and works from Alabama.

Shanton describes people as experts on their own stories and looks for strengths to build on. She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help clients manage symptoms and make changes day to day. Conversations aim to be straightforward and goal-oriented, with an emphasis on skills people can try between sessions.

Her approach includes concrete problem-solving for things like panic attacks, impulse control, and substance use concerns. She helps people unpack relationship patterns, communication problems, infidelity, and family-related stresses one topic at a time. When trauma or abuse is present, she works at a pace the person can handle while focusing on current coping and safety.

Clients can expect practical tools for mood regulation, handling overwhelming feelings, and addressing shame or guilt. She also supports people dealing with postpartum depression, compassion fatigue, and career-related stress. Work on life purpose, isolation, and multicultural concerns is likewise offered.

To begin, the site matching flow and a short questionnaire lead into scheduling a first session. The service uses a cancellable subscription model; costs vary by location. International clients are not currently accepted.

Therapeutic approaches and what online sessions involve

Shanton practices evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear skills and strategies. One approach emphasizes behavioral strategies to manage anxiety and panic attacks; this involves learning breathing, grounding, and stepwise exposure or coping plans that reduce immediate distress. Another approach centers on relapse prevention and coping skills for addictions, teaching routines and problem-solving to lessen substance-related urges and build alternatives.

Finding the right method is collaborative. She discusses goals and preferences in early sessions and adjusts techniques based on what helps the person progress. The therapist frames work as a sequence of experiments and skill-building, and she checks in regularly to refine the plan.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking because the biography does not list specific formats. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, or avoid travel time. Ask about the session formats offered now when you schedule so you know how a session will fit into your routine.
