Shanton Roberson, LICSW, LCSW

Shanton Roberson is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship problems, trauma, and depression. She works with concerns such as grief, parenting strain, self-esteem struggles, anger, and mood disorders. Shanton also supports people navigating LGBT issues, ADHD, compassion fatigue, and major life changes.

Shanton treats each person as the expert on their own life. She looks for strengths people can use to move forward. Sessions focus on practical steps, clearer communication, and healthier coping skills. The goal is steady progress rather than quick fixes.

Her background includes work across mental health settings over 13 years as a licensed clinician. That experience includes helping people with substance-related concerns, panic and trauma symptoms, and the effects of domestic violence and post-traumatic stress. She draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide treatment planning.

In sessions she listens for patterns that keep problems repeating. Then she helps people try small, manageable changes and new ways of relating. She pays attention to cultural and life-context factors that shape each person’s experience.

Shanton is licensed in Alabama as well as holding the LICSW and LCSW credentials noted in her profile. She offers care in English and asks people to consider their goals before starting so sessions can be tailored to what matters most to them.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Shanton uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on skills practice and recovery. One common approach she relies on is behavioral skills training, which teaches concrete coping tools for anxiety, panic, and mood regulation. This helps people manage symptoms with step-by-step skills they can practice between sessions.

She also draws on trauma-informed methods that help people safely process past hurt and reduce its impact on current relationships. These approaches emphasize pacing, grounding exercises, and building emotional tolerance so daily life feels more manageable.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, test what works, and adjust the plan together. Finding an approach that fits personal needs and preferences is part of the work.

The biography did not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, avoid travel time, and keep momentum between visits. It can also allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight or a slower pace when doing deeper trauma work.
