How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Shannon commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy in her work. CBT focuses on identifying and modifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms like anxiety or depression and to build practical coping strategies. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship where the therapist offers empathy and support to help clients explore values, identity, and goals.

She approaches choice of method collaboratively, recognizing that the right approach often emerges through conversation. The therapist and client will work together to match techniques to the person’s needs, preferences, and goals so that sessions feel purposeful and aligned with what the client hopes to achieve.

Online formats available include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which allow greater scheduling flexibility and accessibility for clients living in different places. These options make it possible to maintain continuity of care and to use CBT exercises, reflective conversation, and mindfulness practices in ways that fit a client’s daily life and routine.
