Therapeutic Approaches for Online Support
Shannon draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being overwhelmed by them, then choose actions that align with their values - a useful approach for stress, anxiety, and life transitions. She also integrates Client-Centered Therapy, offering a compassionate, non-judgmental stance that prioritizes the client's perspective and personal growth, which can be especially helpful for building self-esteem and repairing communication patterns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, offering practical tools for managing symptoms of depression, panic, and anxiety.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Shannon collaborates with clients to identify which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies over time so therapy remains focused and relevant.

These options make it easier to schedule regular sessions, maintain continuity during life changes, and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable and effective.
