Therapeutic Approaches and Care Delivered Online

Shauna draws on several well-established approaches to guide online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors - it is often helpful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes building skills in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness - it can be especially useful for intense emotions and relationship challenges. Client-Centered Therapy centers the individual's experience, offering nonjudgmental support to explore values, goals, and personal strengths.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Shauna works with clients to assess needs, preferences, and goals, and adapts techniques so the treatment fits the person rather than forcing a single method. Licensed professionals and therapists often combine elements from different modalities to create a tailored plan.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can be scheduled as video calls or conducted by phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. This range of options makes it easier to maintain continuity of care, fit sessions into busy schedules, and access support from home or other convenient locations.
