Approaches That Guide Online Care
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps clients identify and change unhelpful patterns of thinking and behavior. It is often used to address anxiety, depression, stress, and difficulties with daily functioning by teaching practical coping skills and goal-focused strategies.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) supports people in clarifying their values and taking meaningful action even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. ACT can be useful for managing chronic stress, life transitions, and feelings that interfere with pursuing a valued life.
Mindfulness Therapy encourages present-moment awareness and self-compassion, helping clients reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation. Practices from mindfulness can complement other therapeutic work and support coping with anxiety, anger, and relationship tension.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Shandrieka works with each person to explore which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and adapts the plan over time in partnership with the client and with input from licensed professionals and therapists when appropriate.
Online sessions offer practical flexibility - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging allow clients to engage in therapy from home or another convenient location. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, fit therapy into a busy schedule, and access support when life changes or responsibilities make in-person visits difficult.
