Approaches to Care and How Online Therapy Fits
Shannon uses Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early relationships shape current patterns of connection and emotion - this approach can be helpful for people dealing with abandonment, attachment issues, or recurring relationship difficulties. She also incorporates Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes empathy, acceptance, and collaboration so clients can lead the pace and focus of their work while building self-understanding and confidence. In addition, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, making it practical for addressing anxiety, depression, stress, and problems with motivation.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Shannon works collaboratively with each person to determine which combination of methods best matches their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.
Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for different schedules and communication styles.
