Online delivery of evidence-based approaches
Shelby draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Trauma-Focused Therapy to guide online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns; it is often used for stress, anxiety, mood concerns, and everyday coping skills. Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on processing and healing from traumatic experiences, using structured techniques to reduce trauma-related symptoms and improve day-to-day functioning.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Shelby works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies as progress unfolds so treatment remains aligned with what matters to the client.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can occur by video call, over the phone, via live chat, or through text-based messaging. These options can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, maintain continuity of care across life changes, and access consistent support when in-person visits are not convenient. Licensed professionals can adapt these formats to deliver effective, goal-focused work.
