Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Shannon Rosenbauer uses client-centered therapy to create a collaborative environment in which the person seeking help leads the pace and focus of sessions while the therapist offers empathy and support; this approach is helpful for relationship concerns, grief, and building self-esteem. She also employs cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors, a practical method that can reduce anxiety, bolster coping with life changes, and address mood difficulties. Mindfulness therapy is incorporated to help clients develop present-focused awareness and stress management skills, often supporting work with chronic illness, grief, and daily stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Shannon works collaboratively with each person to determine what methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts strategies over time to reflect progress and changing priorities.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for varied schedules and locations. These formats can make it easier to attend sessions during busy periods, manage ongoing health challenges, or maintain continuity of care with licensed professionals when in-person meetings are difficult.
