Approaches and Online Care with an LMFT

Shantel draws from Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early relationships shape current patterns - this approach helps people understand connection styles, attachment wounds, and how those patterns affect intimate and family relationships. It is useful for those working through abandonment, trust issues, or recurring relationship difficulties.

She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes empathetic listening and collaborative goal-setting. This approach helps clients feel heard and supported while they build insight, self-acceptance, and practical steps toward change.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is another tool in her practice, offering concrete strategies to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors that contribute to anxiety, low mood, or stress. CBT can be effective for managing symptoms and developing coping skills.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work. Shantel collaborates with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with Shantel can include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexible ways to connect that fit busy schedules and different comfort levels. These options make it easier to access consistent care, maintain momentum between sessions, and receive support from wherever the client is located.
