How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Shannon uses evidence-based techniques that focus on practical change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors to reduce anxiety and depression. Dialectical Behavior Therapy offers concrete skills for regulating intense emotions and improving reactions to stress.She also integrates Motivational Interviewing when helping people consider change around substance use or other difficult patterns; this approach focuses on personal goals and readiness rather than pressure. These approaches are explained in simple terms and used to create small, manageable steps toward the client’s goals.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will discuss options, check what fits the client's goals and preferences, and adjust methods over time. The therapist and client decide together which techniques to emphasize based on need and progress.
