How Shannon works

Online support options
Approaches that guide online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and finding direction during life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to reduce symptoms like panic or low mood. Client‑Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and meeting people where they are to build self‑understanding and confidence.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Shannon will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they try methods, adjust as needed, and choose what helps the person make steady progress.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text‑based messaging. Video is useful when seeing facial cues matters. Phone sessions can be easier when someone needs lower bandwidth or a quicker check‑in. Live chat and messaging let people send short updates or do brief check‑ins between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or travel schedules while keeping the focus on consistent progress.
