Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - known as CBT - focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and working to replace them with more constructive ways of responding. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related difficulties because it combines practical strategies with goal-focused work.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing - EMDR - is an approach designed to help people process and reduce the emotional impact of traumatic memories. It can be particularly helpful for those who continue to experience distress after traumatic events and who are looking for a structured method to work through those memories.

Mindfulness Therapy encourages present-moment awareness and gentle self-observation, helping people cope with intense feelings and reduce reactivity. This approach often supports longer-term emotional regulation and complements other therapeutic techniques.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Shaun will work with each person to explore their needs, goals, and preferences and together determine which methods are likely to be most helpful. He draws on clinical approaches flexibly rather than applying a single method to every situation.

Online therapy offers practical benefits such as flexible scheduling, reduced travel time, and the ability to connect from familiar surroundings. Working via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging makes therapy more accessible for many people and allows licensed professionals and therapists to adapt sessions to suit different communication styles and life circumstances.
