Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care
Client-centered therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship in which the therapist listens deeply and follows the client's lead. This approach helps people feel heard and understood while they explore their values, choices, and personal goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, involves identifying patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to distress and learning practical skills to change them; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches concrete skills for managing intense emotions, improving interpersonal effectiveness, and tolerating distress, and can be helpful for people struggling with emotional regulation and relationship challenges.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Shannon will work collaboratively with each client to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques and pacing to support what feels most helpful for the individual.
Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, maintain continuity of care during transitions, and connect with licensed professionals and therapists from locations that suit the client. For many people, remote sessions provide a convenient way to receive consistent, effective support.
