How her approaches work online
Shannon commonly blends Client-Centered care with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people make practical changes. Client-Centered work means she listens closely and shapes sessions around what matters most to the client. That approach helps people feel understood and decide what to tackle first. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and relationship patterns.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. Shannon will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. She reviews progress and adjusts the plan when needed so the work stays relevant and productive.
Online sessions can be held by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video calls are helpful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for quick check-ins. Chat and messaging let people check in between sessions or share shorter thoughts when time is tight. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while keeping the focus on achievable steps and real-world progress.
