Therapeutic Approaches Adapted for Online Care

Sheena employs Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients address thoughts, emotions, and behaviors in concrete, practical ways. ACT focuses on clarifying personal values and building psychological flexibility so people can act in line with what matters to them even amid difficult feelings, which can be helpful for stress, anxiety, and life transitions. CBT teaches skills to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, useful for anxiety, depression, obsessive-compulsive concerns, and sleep issues. Sheena also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy when relationships, family of origin issues, or patterns of closeness and distance are central to a person’s difficulties, helping clients understand relational dynamics and develop more secure ways of connecting.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Sheena works with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences, and she tailors methods accordingly so therapy feels relevant and practical. Clients and therapist decide together what to try and how to adapt techniques as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life changes, and access licensed professionals from different locations. These options support consistent engagement and allow therapeutic work to continue in ways that align with each person’s daily life.
