Therapeutic Approaches for Online Support
Shamiso uses client-centered therapy to create a collaborative space where the client's priorities guide the work - this approach emphasizes empathy, active listening, and supporting people to find their own solutions, which can be particularly helpful for relationship concerns, grief, and coping with life changes.She also employs Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and gently challenge unhelpful thoughts and behaviors - CBT is commonly used for anxiety, depression, stress, and symptoms of OCD and can be adapted to brief, skills-focused online sessions.
Motivational interviewing is another approach Shamiso draws on to support clients who are ambivalent about change - it focuses on exploring motivation and strengthening commitment to practical steps, useful for issues like caregiver stress, addiction-related ambivalence, or lifestyle changes.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Shamiso works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she will adjust the plan over time as progress and priorities evolve. Licensed professionals and therapists commonly blend approaches to match individual circumstances.
Online therapy with Shamiso is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access consistent support from home, while allowing sessions to be arranged around work, family, or other commitments.
