Online Care Using Cognitive Behavioral and Trauma-Focused Methods
Shannon integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is a practical, goal-oriented approach often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and many everyday challenges because it teaches skills for managing reactions and building healthier patterns.She also employs Trauma-Focused Therapy to address the effects of traumatic experiences. This work focuses on processing difficult memories, reducing trauma-related symptoms, and building coping strategies so clients can move forward with greater resilience and stability.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Shannon collaborates with each client to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors interventions and adjusts strategies over time, so therapy evolves with the client rather than following a one-size-fits-all plan.
Online therapy with Shannon uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexible access to care. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and maintain continuity of support from home or other convenient locations, while working with licensed professionals and therapists to pursue meaningful change.
