Therapeutic approaches adapted for online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what really matters to them and take steps toward those values even when emotions are difficult. It’s useful for coping with life changes, anxiety, and motivation struggles. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors that keep problems going; it often helps with anxiety, depression, and stress by teaching concrete skills to test and shift patterns. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus, which can be helpful for mood, stress, and attention-related concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Shayna will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their goals, preferences, and day-to-day life. She adapts techniques to what actually fits a person’s routine and checks in about what is and isn’t working so the plan evolves together.

Online therapy offers flexibility in how sessions happen. Video calls let people maintain visual connection when that matters. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a work break. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for short check-ins, homework support, or when someone prefers written communication. These options make it easier to keep momentum and use therapy techniques between appointments.
