Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Shannon Nelson draws from several established approaches to tailor care to each person's needs. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on understanding how early relationships shape current patterns, helping people address abandonment, trust, and connection issues in relationships. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental stance in which the therapist listens closely and supports the client's own capacity for insight and growth, useful for building self-esteem and confidence. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical tools to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, often helping with anxiety, stress, and mood concerns.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Shannon works with clients to explore which methods match their goals, preferences, and life circumstances, adjusting strategies as progress unfolds. This partnership helps ensure therapy feels relevant and manageable.
Offering video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging increases flexibility and accessibility for people balancing school, work, or caregiving.
