Approaches and Benefits of Online Therapeutic Care
Shannon integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Client-Centered (person-centered) approaches in her online practice. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress, offering practical tools for everyday challenges. Client-Centered therapy emphasizes empathy, respect, and the client’s own experience, helping people build insight and self-direction when facing relationship issues, grief, or life transitions. She also draws on Motivational Interviewing techniques to support readiness for change and to strengthen motivation for addressing behaviors such as substance use or other habits that interfere with goals.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process; Shannon works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods align with their needs, goals, and preferences. This collaborative stance helps tailor sessions so strategies feel relevant and manageable.
Online therapy offers flexible options including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, allowing people to access licensed professionals from home or during busy schedules. These formats can make it easier to maintain continuity of care, fit sessions around work or family commitments, and apply therapeutic strategies in daily life with greater convenience.
