How Shawndre works
Sessions focus on real problems people face day to day, like sleep disruption, eating concerns, parenting strain, or struggles with self-esteem. Conversations are practical and paced to the client’s needs. Shawndre draws on five years of clinical experience to tailor plans that fit each person's goals.
She addresses a wide range of concerns such as addictions, grief, intimacy-related issues, bipolar challenges, and compassion fatigue. Additional focuses include abandonment, attachment issues, codependency, dissociation, and caregiver stress. Therapy combines skill-building and emotional processing.
Clients often work on communication patterns, coping strategies, and values-based decisions. The therapist helps people map small changes that can reduce daily distress and improve functioning. Sessions are offered in English and are available to international clients.
Shawndre offers flexible formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Getting started begins with a short matching questionnaire and scheduling according to the therapist's availability.

Online support options
Approach-driven online therapy that fits your life
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most and build actions that match those values, often used for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can ease symptoms of anxiety, depression, and sleep or eating disturbances. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and communication skills to manage intense feelings and improve relationships.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try techniques, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. Clients are involved in selecting strategies that match their needs and preferences rather than following a fixed method.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and skills practice, while phone sessions can work well when bandwidth is limited or when a session fits into a work break. Live chat and text-based messaging allow brief check-ins, homework support, or step-by-step coaching between longer meetings. These options make it easier to keep continuity of care and try different formats as life circumstances change.
