How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Shannon uses Client-Centered Therapy to build a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the person sets the pace and goals. That approach helps people feel heard and steers sessions toward what matters most to them.She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thought and behavior patterns that contribute to stress, anxiety, or impulsivity. CBT focuses on simple strategies and exercises that people can practice between sessions to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Shannon collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they track what helps and adjust plans as progress is made.
Online therapy gives practical benefits for busy lives. Video calls let conversations feel close to face-to-face, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messaging offer quick check-ins or shorter coaching-style exchanges. These options make it easier to fit consistent care into a workday, a break, or times when being on camera isn’t needed.
