Applying CBT Online for Anxiety, Relationships, and Self-Esteem
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a practical, skills-focused approach that helps clients identify and reframe unhelpful thoughts and patterns. In Shannon's work CBT is used to reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression, improve coping with life changes, and build healthier day-to-day habits. It emphasizes concrete strategies such as thought records, behavioral experiments, and gradual exposure to feared situations.
Shannon also adapts CBT principles to address relationship and intimacy concerns, helping clients develop clearer communication, set boundaries, and increase confidence in intimate settings. These applications focus on concrete skill-building and collaborative goal-setting to support better relationship functioning and sexual well-being.
Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Shannon works collaboratively with each person to determine what fits best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors CBT techniques to the individual, adjusting pacing and emphasis as trust and progress develop.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and comfort levels. This range of options makes it easier to access regular support, maintain momentum between sessions, and integrate new skills into everyday life.
