Therapeutic Approaches Offered Online

Shannon integrates several evidence-based approaches into her online practice to meet clients where they are. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on a warm, nonjudgmental relationship in which the client’s experience guides the work - this approach supports self-exploration, confidence, and personal growth. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify and reframe unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical skills to manage symptoms like anxiety and depression. Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes clear, achievable goals and small, forward-moving steps to create change, which can be especially helpful when clients want focused, action-oriented strategies.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Shannon works with each person to assess needs, preferences, and goals, and she tailors techniques so they fit the client’s life and priorities. Clients are active partners in deciding which methods will be most helpful.

Online therapy with Shannon is available via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access consistent support, maintain momentum between sessions, and integrate therapeutic tools into daily routines.
