Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Shanna Gonzalez
Shanna draws from Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early relationship patterns influence current connections and emotional responses; this approach can be helpful for people working through attachment issues, abandonment concerns, and relationship difficulties. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes empathy and collaboration and helps clients find their own solutions by focusing on their values and personal strengths. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - CBT - is another core tool she employs, offering practical strategies to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns.
Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work itself. Shanna collaborates with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds so therapy remains relevant and effective.
