Online support
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Shannon commonly draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people notice and shift painful emotional patterns and to build more helpful emotional responses. EFT focuses on understanding core feelings and the interactions that keep painful states in place, which can help with grief, relationship-related stress, and strong emotional reactions.She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes a warm, nonjudgmental stance and listening closely to each person's experience. That approach aims to create a calmer space where people can tell their story and work toward their own solutions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify and change thought patterns that feed anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and anger, often with straightforward worksheets and practice tasks between sessions.
Shannon treats choosing an approach as a shared decision. She will talk with each person about goals, explore what feels most useful, and adjust the plan over time. The work is collaborative and paced to the person's needs.
Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video works well for conversations that benefit from seeing facial cues. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier during a busy day. Chat and text are useful for brief check-ins, mood tracking, or when a written exchange feels more comfortable. These options make it easier to keep continuity of care and to fit therapy into everyday life.
