Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Shanti Turner
Shanti Turner integrates Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing into her online practice to meet a variety of needs. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy and collaboration - the therapist listens and reflects so clients can explore their values and find their own solutions, which is helpful for issues like self-esteem, life purpose, and relationship concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought and behavior patterns, making it useful for stress, anxiety, depression, and mood regulation. Motivational Interviewing is a goal-oriented, empathetic method that helps people resolve ambivalence and strengthen motivation for change, which supports work on recovery, behavior shifts, and building consistent coping strategies.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Shanti works collaboratively with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences, then tailors techniques so therapy feels practical and personally meaningful. She adapts methods over time as goals evolve and progress is made.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules, caregiving responsibilities, and clients who live far from in-person services. These modalities allow ongoing access to licensed professionals and make it easier to maintain continuity of care while balancing daily life commitments.
