Approaches That Guide Online Care
Shanteria integrates client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy to support clients in online settings. Client-centered therapy focuses on creating a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the client s priorities lead the work - this approach is useful for building self-esteem, exploring identity, and processing life transitions. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) helps people identify patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to anxiety, depression, and stress, and introduces practical skills to change those patterns.
She treats the choice of therapeutic approach as a collaborative part of treatment. Together with each client, she assesses needs, goals, and preferences to determine which methods to use and adjusts the plan as progress is made so the work remains aligned with what the client wants to achieve.
Online therapy with Shanteria is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility and accessibility.
