Therapeutic approaches and online care
Shirley integrates several evidence-based approaches to meet each person where they are. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns - it helps people explore connection, trust, and relational wounds so they can form healthier bonds and feel more secure in relationships. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the client’s own voice and goals; the therapist offers empathic listening and collaboration so clients can identify their values and move toward meaningful change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, offering practical skills to manage anxiety, mood, and unhelpful patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Shirley works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors care over time, adapting techniques as progress and challenges emerge.
Online therapy with Shirley is available through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, fit sessions into busy lives, and access licensed professionals from a range of settings.
