Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Shawnene commonly draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and EMDR in her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take meaningful action even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present, making it useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms of depression, anxiety, and related concerns. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused approach that can help people process distressing memories and reduce their ongoing emotional impact.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. She works collaboratively with clients to assess needs, goals, and personal preferences, and then tailors techniques from these modalities to fit each person’s situation. This collaborative process helps identify what feels most effective and sustainable 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 sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and engage in therapy from familiar surroundings. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and interventions for remote formats so that therapeutic work continues to be meaningful and practical.
