04Online support
Practical therapeutic approaches for online care
Shawn often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and test small behavior changes. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with everyday stress by offering concrete skills to try between sessions.He also uses Narrative Therapy to help people make sense of difficult experiences by looking at the stories they tell about themselves. This approach can reduce shame and open up new possibilities for relationships and identity.
Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. Shawn works with each person to match approaches to their goals, preferences, and the problems they bring. He adjusts methods over time and checks in about what feels helpful.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video is good for longer talks and visual cues, phone works when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be useful for shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to work therapy into a busy life and to try different formats until a good fit is found.
