04Online support
How her approaches work online
Shannon blends cognitive behavioral ideas with mindfulness and emotionally focused work to help people handle distress and reconnect with what matters. Cognitive behavioral techniques look at unhelpful thoughts and habits and offer simple exercises to shift them, which can help with anxiety, low mood, and stress. Mindfulness work teaches present-moment noticing and breathing or attention exercises to reduce overwhelm and improve emotional tolerance. Emotionally focused ideas concentrate on strengthening the way people relate to their own feelings and to others, which is useful for intimacy issues and relationship strain.Finding the right mix is a collaborative process. Shannon will talk with each person about goals, what has helped before, and what feels doable. Together they choose strategies and adjust them over time so therapy fits the client’s needs and preferences.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or when camera use is hard. Live chat and text can be useful for brief check-ins, processing between sessions, or for people who prefer writing. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives and stick with steps that support lasting change.
