How Shauna’s Approaches Work Online
Shauna uses client-centered therapy to put the person’s experience first and build a strong working relationship. This approach focuses on listening, reflecting, and helping people make sense of their feelings so they can decide what matters most.She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is practical and action-focused, which helps with anxiety, depression, and stress by teaching concrete skills to try between sessions. Dialectical behavior therapy is another tool she applies to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and communication skills for intense feelings and conflict.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Shauna will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and daily life. She adjusts strategies as progress is made and as needs change.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for quick check-ins. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief updates, coping reminders, or ongoing support between longer sessions. Together these options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy schedule and keep progress moving forward.
