How Shawnean Uses Approaches in Online Therapy

Shawnean draws on Client-Centered Therapy to put the person’s experience first, listening closely and following each client's priorities. This approach helps when someone needs space to be heard and to set the pace for change.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on spotting thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and testing small changes. CBT is useful for anxiety, sleep problems, anger, and patterns that affect daily functioning. Solution-Focused Therapy is used to set short-term goals and pick concrete steps to try between meetings, which can be helpful for parenting challenges, career shifts, or managing ADHD-related routines.

Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try techniques, and adjust plans based on what helps. That way the work stays practical and tied to real-life needs and preferences.

Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls provide face-to-face interaction for deeper conversation, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier on days when video feels like too much, and live chat or text-based messaging allow shorter check-ins or ongoing written support between sessions. These options can help people keep momentum while juggling work, childcare, or other commitments.
