04Online support
How her approaches work online
Shannon commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and client-centered therapy when working with people online. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps identify patterns of thinking that contribute to anxiety or low mood and offers practical exercises to change those habits. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and building a trusting relationship so people feel heard and can set their own goals.She also brings mindfulness and solution-focused ideas into sessions when helpful. Mindfulness teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity. Solution-focused techniques help set short-term, achievable goals so progress is visible early in work together. Shannon works collaboratively to find which mix of approaches fits each person’s goals and preferences rather than pushing a single method.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a person prefers audio only. Live chat or text messaging can fit quick check-ins, brief coaching, or times when typing feels most comfortable. These options make scheduling more flexible and help people fit therapy into busy lives.
