About Shanton
Shanton Roberson is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Alabama and Florida with 13 years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship issues, trauma and abuse, depression, and related concerns such as grief, parenting strain, and ADHD. Her work includes attention to mood disorders, bipolar concerns, and the effects of life changes on daily functioning.
Shanton uses practical, evidence-based strategies and keeps conversations straightforward. Sessions involve talking through immediate problems, identifying patterns that get in the way, and practicing skills to manage mood, anxiety, or urges. She treats topics like anger, impulsivity, and compassion fatigue with concrete steps rather than abstract talk.
She also addresses issues that come up around identity and relationships, including LGBT concerns, communication problems, infidelity, and feelings of isolation. Shanton works with people navigating adoption and foster care, abandonment, and body image worries, and she helps with parenting stress and postpartum depression.
Her approach emphasizes collaboration. She helps people figure out which coping tools fit their everyday life and schedules. Practical matters like work, money, and family responsibilities are part of the conversation, because solutions need to work in real life.
Shanton’s background in social work includes community and clinical settings across Alabama and Florida. She draws on that experience to offer direct, problem-focused sessions that aim to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning over time.
BHow sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions fit
Shanton draws on practical, evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address mood and stress. Cognitive-behavioral approaches focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with small behavioral experiments to reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms. Skills-based strategies teach concrete tools for managing urges, cravings, impulsivity, and emotional flooding so people can handle difficult moments more effectively.She also uses trauma-informed methods that emphasize safety, pacing, and grounding techniques to reduce the intensity of traumatic memories and improve day-to-day functioning. These approaches are useful for people dealing with past abuse, post-traumatic stress, or strong emotional reactions tied to relationships or life events.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist and client decide together which methods to try first, based on the client’s goals, current needs, and what feels doable. The plan can shift as progress is made or new priorities appear.
Confirm current session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific online options. Many people find online sessions helpful for fitting therapy into a busy week, shortening travel time, or having a check-in during a work break. Others prefer in-person meetings for longer or more intensive work; discuss preferences during the initial scheduling step so sessions match everyday life demands.
