Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, empathetic environment where the client’s own insights guide the work. This approach is useful for exploring relationship concerns, self-esteem issues, grief, and the emotional impact of stress or depression because it centers the client’s values and goals.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) involves identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms and improve coping. CBT is often used for anxiety, mood disorders, and some addictive behaviors, offering practical tools to manage triggers and build healthier patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Shawn collaborates with each person to determine which methods fit best with their needs, goals, and preferences, and he adapts strategies over time as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with Shawn is available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, which provides flexibility for busy schedules and different comfort levels. These options make it easier to access licensed professionals from home or other convenient locations and to maintain consistent contact between sessions when needed.
