How her approaches translate to online therapy

Shalette uses client-centered therapy to listen closely and build a plan that fits each person's needs. This approach focuses on understanding a person's story and helping them identify their own strengths and priorities. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is another key method she uses to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and practice new ways of reacting, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and sleep problems. Emotionally-focused ideas help when intimacy and attachment concerns are central, by naming emotions and trying new ways of responding to relationship stress.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. She will talk with each client about goals, preferences, and what feels most practical. Together they decide which tools to try and adjust the plan as needed, keeping the focus on what helps day to day.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video lets people work face to face when that helps, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be simpler to fit into a work break, chat is good for brief check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing contact between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while fitting it into a busy life.
