How his approaches work online
Shannon uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors that reduce distress. CBT breaks problems into smaller parts so clients can practice specific changes between sessions and track progress.He also uses Solution-Focused Therapy, which concentrates on short-term goals and practical steps. That approach is useful when someone wants quick strategies to move toward a clearer next step or solve a specific problem.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Shannon will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and adapt methods accordingly. Together they decide what feels most helpful and adjust as progress is made.
Online therapy formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is good for a traditional session feel and visual cues, phone works well when internet bandwidth is limited, live chat and text messaging let people check in between sessions or fit brief touchpoints into a busy day. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around work, school, or caregiving responsibilities.
