04Online support
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Shannon commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy in his work. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce distress. Acceptance and commitment therapy emphasizes clarifying personal values and taking action toward those values, even when uncomfortable feelings appear.He treats relationship patterns with attachment-based ideas too, looking at how past and current bonds shape reactions and expectations. These approaches are described and used collaboratively; the therapist and client decide together which methods best fit the client’s goals and situation.
Online formats make those methods more practical for many people. Video calls let a therapist and client work in real time with visual cues for skills practice. Phone sessions can be a good option when internet bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging support brief check-ins, homework prompts, and step-by-step coaching between longer sessions. All formats aim to provide flexible ways to access therapy that fit daily schedules and personal needs.
