Online support
Emotion-focused care available online
Shannon integrates Emotionally-Focused Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to guide online work. Emotionally-Focused Therapy focuses on identifying and shifting emotional patterns that drive relationship and self-directed problems, which can help when people feel stuck in repeated reactions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy teaches practical skills to notice thoughts and feelings without getting ruled by them, and to take values-based actions that move life forward.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Shannon will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they try approaches and adapt them based on what helps most in day-to-day life.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed, and messaging or live chat can support ongoing reflection between appointments. These options help people fit therapy into work, family, and travel schedules while maintaining consistency in care.
