04Online support

Practical approaches for online recovery and healing

Shawntrell draws on evidence-based techniques that focus on clear skills and behavior change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and beliefs, which can reduce anxiety and improve decision making around substance use. Dialectical Behavior Therapy teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills useful for intense feelings and relationship strain.

He also uses motivational interviewing to increase readiness for change and solution-focused strategies to set short-term, achievable goals. The therapist sees finding the right mix of methods as a collaborative process. He will work with each person to decide which techniques match their goals, values, and current needs, and adjust the plan over time based on what is working.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and skill demonstrations. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low or for quick check-ins. Live chat and messaging work well for shorter updates, in-between support, or when typing feels more comfortable than speaking. These options aim to make consistent care more flexible and accessible for people managing recovery, parenting, work, or varied schedules.
