Blending proven approaches for online counseling
Shane often integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in online work. ACT focuses on clarifying personal values and building psychological flexibility so people can move toward what matters despite difficult thoughts and feelings. CBT helps identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress.He also emphasizes a client-centered stance that prioritizes empathy, active listening, and collaboration. Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process - Shane works together with each client to tailor methods based on their needs, goals, and preferences so treatment fits the individual rather than the other way around.
Online sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging provide practical flexibility for busy schedules, caregiving responsibilities, or limited local options. These formats make it possible to maintain continuity of care, access support from home, and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable while working toward meaningful change with a licensed professional.
