How Shalette’s Approaches Translate to Online Care
Shalette uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice thought patterns that increase worry or low mood and then practice new ways of thinking and acting. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and many everyday habits that cause distress.She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which centers on listening and empathy so clients feel heard while they decide what changes to make. This approach supports people working through trauma, grief, self-esteem issues, and relationship challenges.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try methods, and adjust based on what proves helpful. That collaborative process helps match techniques to each person's needs and preferences.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit real life. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation when helpful. Phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text let people send notes between sessions or have brief check-ins without committing to a full video meeting.
These options give flexibility for different days and schedules while keeping the focus on practical skills and steady progress.
