Shannon Wise, LPC

Shannon Wise is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Alabama with 12 years of clinical experience. She has supported people facing stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, sleep difficulties, anger management, depression, bipolar disorder, and a range of family and young adult concerns. Shannon approaches each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and she adapts conversations and treatment plans to fit each individual’s needs and goals.

Her background spans several care settings. For about five years she worked as an acute therapist with voluntary and involuntary clients who were hospitalized during crises and needed stabilization to return to daily routines. She then spent roughly four years as a mental health professional in a correctional facility, contributing to treatment teams, helping with stress management, assessing needs for medication referrals, and supporting interventions for clients with chronic symptoms. More recently she has worked in private practice for over a year, serving adults, teens, and couples.

Shannon offers integrative guidance using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to support emotional regulation and conflict resolution, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to teach coping skills for relaxation, grounding, and distress tolerance, and Reality Therapy for practical goal setting and personal growth. She recognizes that triggers can range from situational stressors to serious mental health or substance-related issues, and she focuses on validating clients, building self-awareness, and monitoring incremental progress to help restore hope and purpose.
