How Shane’s Approaches Work Online
Shane commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in online work. CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and trying small, practical behavior changes to reduce symptoms like anxiety or depression. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice what matters to them and take values-based actions, which can help with stress, avoidance, and motivation.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Shane will work with each person to identify goals, test methods, and adjust techniques as needed. He treats the choice of approach as collaborative, matching methods to what the person wants to change and how they prefer to work.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video calls allow more face-to-face interaction for skills practice. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quicker check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging can fit shorter updates, homework check-ins, or times when typing works better than speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and try different ways of working without traveling.
