Shannon Wise , LPC

Shannon Wise is a licensed professional counselor in Alabama with 12 years of experience supporting adults, teens, and couples through a range of emotional and behavioral challenges. As an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor - she combines practical skills with empathy to help clients address stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, sleep difficulties, anger, depression, grief, and issues related to self-esteem and bipolar disorder.

Her clinical background spans inpatient crisis work, corrections, and community-based practice. For about five years she worked as a Therapist Acute with voluntary and involuntary clients hospitalized during crises, helping people stabilize and reintegrate into daily life. She then spent roughly four years as a mental health professional in a correctional facility where she supported treatment teams, assisted with stress management, assessed needs for medication referrals, and helped manage safety interventions for individuals with chronic symptoms. More recently she has provided over a year of private practice care to community clients, offering individual and couples therapy.

Shannon uses an integrative approach that draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to support emotional regulation and conflict resolution, Dialectical Behavior Therapy to build coping skills for grounding and distress tolerance, and Reality Therapy for goal setting and practical steps toward improved quality of life. She also incorporates techniques that address triggers from situational stress, serious mental illness, personality issues, or substance-related concerns. Shannon emphasizes collaborative goal setting, incremental progress monitoring, and validation to increase self-awareness and empower clients toward meaningful growth.
