Therapeutic Approaches Adapted for Online Care
Robin Shell commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where the individual’s perspective guides the process. This approach helps people strengthen self-awareness, build coping skills, and explore personal goals at their own pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is another core method she employs - it focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress and to improve daily functioning. Solution-Focused Therapy is used to identify practical steps and strengths that lead to measurable progress, which can be especially helpful for targeted issues and short-term goals.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Robin works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adjusts techniques as therapy progresses so the work remains relevant and effective.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care during busy periods, to access support from home, and to choose the communication style that feels most helpful for each individual.
