How Shannon’s Approaches Translate Online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building understanding. The therapist follows the client’s lead, reflects what is shared, and helps people find their own solutions; this can help with self-esteem, relationship concerns, and making sense of emotions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and tests small changes. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress by teaching practical skills to change patterns and improve daily functioning.

Mindfulness Therapy brings attention to the present moment and supports noticing feelings without getting overwhelmed. It can help with stress, emotional regulation, and coping with difficult memories.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Shannon will collaborate with each person to match methods to their goals and preferences, adjusting over time as needs change. The process is practical and team-oriented, with regular check-ins about what is or isn’t helping.

Confirm available online session options before booking so you know how meetings will be scheduled and delivered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Discuss scheduling needs and preferred session length when you arrange your first appointment so sessions fit everyday routines.
