Practical Approaches for Online Therapy
Shawn commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a structured method that helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replace them with more effective patterns. CBT is often used for stress, anxiety, panic, depression, and mood concerns, and it emphasizes practical strategies and skills that clients can apply between sessions.Alongside CBT, Shawn adopts a tailored and compassionate treatment approach that adapts to each person’s circumstances. This means conversations and goals are shaped to address relationship and intimacy issues, self-esteem and motivation, life transitions, and other specific concerns the client brings to therapy.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together - Shawn helps clients and licensed professionals determine the best fit based on individual needs, goals, and preferences in a collaborative way.

These options make it easier to maintain consistency in care while accessing therapists who can provide evidence-informed support tailored to each client.
