How Shannon uses therapeutic approaches online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and helping the client set the pace. It supports people who need a respectful space to sort through feelings and make their own choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety and change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for mood and anxiety problems. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused approach that helps process distressing memories and reduce their emotional impact.

Finding the right method is part of the work together. Shannon will talk with each person about goals, symptoms, and preferences and recommend approaches that fit those needs. Decisions about which tools to use are collaborative and can change as progress is made.

Session formats are not listed in the original biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy life, shorten travel, and allow quieter check-ins during a break from work. Some approaches translate well to remote work because they focus on talk and skills practice, while EMDR and mindfulness exercises can also be adapted for remote sessions when appropriate. Discuss format preferences during the initial scheduling step to find what will work best.
