Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Shannon combines client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and dialectical behavior therapy to address a wide range of challenges in online sessions. Client-centered therapy focuses on empathic listening and collaboration, helping people explore their values and goals while feeling understood and respected. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and teaches practical skills to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress. Dialectical behavior therapy, or DBT, emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer interpersonal communication - skills that are useful for managing intense emotions, relationship conflict, and impulse-driven behaviors.
Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. Shannon works together with each person to assess needs, try targeted techniques, and adjust the plan based on what proves most helpful. This flexibility ensures that care aligns with the client's goals, preferences, and current circumstances.
Online therapy allows these methods to be delivered by licensed professionals through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options offer practical flexibility for scheduling, make it easier to maintain continuity during life transitions, and allow therapy to fit into busy routines while preserving the therapeutic relationship and progress.
