Therapeutic Approaches and Flexible Online Support

Shannon most often draws on Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to guide her work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on building a trusting, accepting therapeutic relationship and helps people explore their values and strengths while navigating life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) uses practical strategies to identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and teaches tools to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress.

She also incorporates Emotionally-Focused Therapy when relationship dynamics or attachment concerns are central. This approach helps partners or family members better understand emotional responses and create more secure, connected interactions.

Finding the right approach is part of the process, and Shannon collaborates with each client to tailor methods to their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they evaluate what feels most helpful and adjust the plan over time.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility for people balancing work, family, or travel. Shannon provides support through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, allowing clients to choose formats that fit their schedules and communication styles while maintaining consistent access to a licensed professional.
