Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Shana Maltzman



Shana uses client-centered therapy to create a supportive environment in which the client’s goals and experiences drive the work; this approach emphasizes empathy, active listening, and collaboration and is helpful for building self-esteem, improving communication, and navigating life changes. She also employs Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a structured method that helps identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, often benefiting people dealing with anxiety, depression, and stress. Motivational Interviewing is another tool in her practice, focusing on enhancing a person’s own motivation to make meaningful changes and useful for goals like behavior change, treatment engagement, and navigating ambivalence.

Determining the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Shana works collaboratively with clients to assess needs, preferences, and goals, and she adjusts methods over time so the plan fits the person rather than forcing a single model.

Online therapy with Shana offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging.
