Approaches that guide online work and recovery
Shawntrell commonly uses cognitive-behavioral methods to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. These techniques focus on practical exercises and coping skills that reduce anxiety and support early recovery from substance use.He also draws on dialectical behavior approaches to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improved interpersonal skills. These skills are useful for handling intense emotions, relationship conflicts, and urges that can threaten recovery.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will review your goals, try methods that fit your needs, and adjust the plan as progress and challenges appear. Clients and therapist decide together which tools make sense for daily life and recovery goals.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video lets people work face to face when schedules allow, while phone calls use less bandwidth and can fit a lunch break. Live chat and text are good for brief check-ins, skill practice, and ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to keep consistency while juggling work, caregiving, or treatment needs.
