Shanton Roberson, LICSW, LCSW

Approaches that guide online sessions

Shanton uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on practical skills and symptom relief. One common approach is skill-building for anxiety and mood regulation, which teaches breathing, grounding, and behavior changes to reduce panic and manage mood swings. These tools help with panic attacks, depression, and daily stress. Another approach emphasizes trauma-informed work that helps people process past harm at a pace that feels manageable. This approach supports people coping with abuse, post-traumatic stress, and grief by combining safety planning, emotional regulation, and gradual exposure to difficult memories. Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, strengths, and comfort levels and will adapt methods over time. Clients and the therapist check progress together and make changes when needed. Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for deeper interaction. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging provide ongoing support between sessions and can fit into busy schedules or moments when writing feels easier. These options make it simpler to maintain regular sessions and apply new skills where life happens.
