04Online support
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Shannon uses client-centered therapy to follow each person's priorities and pace, providing a supportive space where concerns are heard and validated. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people identify unhelpful thought patterns and test new ways of thinking and behaving to reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences, try methods that fit those aims, and adjust the plan as progress and needs evolve. That way the work stays focused and relevant to everyday life.
Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule. Video calls allow fuller conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be a simpler option with lower bandwidth needs, and live chat or text-based messaging work well for quick check-ins or if someone prefers typing. These options give flexibility for different days and different needs while keeping the therapeutic work consistent and goal-focused.
