Approaches and Online Options for Therapy

Shantel often draws on Attachment-Based Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy to create a warm, collaborative foundation for change. Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns of connection formed in early relationships and helps people notice how those patterns affect current bonds, which can be useful for relationship challenges, attachment issues, and family concerns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the client’s own perspective and strengths, offering a respectful, nonjudgmental space to process emotions and clarify goals, especially helpful for self-esteem and life transition work.

She also incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) when addressing patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to anxiety, depression, and stress. CBT focuses on practical skills to reframe unhelpful thoughts and develop coping strategies for day-to-day problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Shantel works collaboratively with each person to tailor methods to their needs, goals, and preferences. She reviews options together with clients and adjusts the plan as progress unfolds.

Online sessions offer practical flexibility - whether by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - enabling therapy to fit into busy schedules and varied locations. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care and to access licensed professionals from places that might otherwise limit options, supporting consistent progress and greater convenience for clients.
