Approaches and Online Support for Lasting Change
Shanita Burgess integrates Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to tailor work to each person's needs. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating an accepting, nonjudgmental space where the individual’s goals guide the pace of change and the therapist offers empathy and support. CBT helps identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, providing practical skills for anxiety, depression, burnout, and everyday stress.
She also uses elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness when intense emotions or relationship difficulties interfere with daily life. These approaches are presented in accessible ways so clients can apply new tools between sessions.
Finding the best fit is part of the process - Shanita collaborates with each client to choose and adapt approaches based on individual goals, preferences, and progress. Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to schedule consistent work around busy lives and to access support from where the client is most comfortable.
