Approaches that guide online support

Shanta uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on practical change and symptom relief. One common approach she uses is goal-focused behavioral work, which helps people build daily routines, manage sleep, and reduce impulsivity by trying small, measurable actions. Another approach emphasizes coping skills for anxiety and panic, like breath management, grounding techniques, and short behavioral experiments to test worries and notice what changes.

Deciding which approach fits best is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your goals and preferences, then try options that match your needs. Sessions can shift over time as progress is made or priorities change, with the person and therapist checking in together about what feels most helpful.

Online formats offer practical flexibility. Video calls are useful for deeper conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging make brief check-ins and coaching easier between longer sessions. These options help people fit therapy into busy schedules and maintain continuity when travel or work makes in-person visits difficult.
