Therapeutic Approaches and Online Access
Shane draws from several evidence-informed approaches to tailor work to each client. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, offering practical tools for managing anxiety, depression, stress, and impulse-related patterns. Existential Therapy invites clients to explore meaning, values, freedom, and responsibility, helping when life feels uncertain, empty, or directionless. Narrative Therapy centers on the stories people tell about themselves and their lives, working to separate individuals from problem-saturated narratives and to build alternative, more empowering stories.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Shane works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adapting interventions over time as progress and circumstances evolve. The aim is shared decision-making and a personalized plan that feels practical and respectful of each person’s experience.
Online sessions offer flexible ways to engage in this work, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, support access for clients who are far away, and allow continuity of care across life changes, all while maintaining the collaborative therapeutic relationship with licensed professionals and therapists.
