Background and approach
That can mean learning ways to manage worry, practicing techniques to cope with cravings, or processing painful memories at a pace that feels manageable. Her work includes attention to guilt, shame, and forgiveness as they relate to recovery and healing.
She uses methods grounded in Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, plus mindfulness and motivational interviewing to help clients notice patterns and try different responses. The goal is gradual progress rather than quick fixes. Shandi has six years of experience and holds an Oregon LPC, which guides how she practices with people in the state.
She frames therapy as a collaborative process and encourages clients to share feedback so sessions stay relevant and practical. People who choose her often want clear strategies and a steady presence while they work through mood problems, post-traumatic stress, social anxiety, or substance-related concerns. She emphasizes coping skills, emotional understanding, and steps toward healthier routines.
How therapeutic approaches work online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the client guides the topics and pace. This approach helps people feel heard and decide which issues to tackle first. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replaces them with more helpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and mood-related concerns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist and client collaborate to choose techniques that fit the client's goals, preferences, and daily life. Sessions may shift methods over time as needs change, and the therapist invites feedback to keep things practical and helpful.
Online therapy offers flexibility for people with busy schedules or transportation limits. Video calls support face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions work when bandwidth is low, and live chat or text-based messaging can suit brief check-ins or days when typing feels easier. These options make it simpler to keep continuity of care and practice new skills between sessions.
