Therapy Tools That Fit Your Life Online
Janie Shankle draws from approaches that help clients feel heard while also building practical skills for everyday challenges. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a supportive, nonjudgmental space where a person can explore what they are experiencing, identify strengths, and move at a pace that feels manageable - especially helpful when life feels overwhelming or uncertain.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps clients notice patterns in thoughts and behaviors that can fuel stress, anxiety, depression, or low self-esteem. Together, therapist and client work on realistic strategies to respond differently, one step at a time. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds tools for handling intense emotions, improving communication, and navigating relationships with more steadiness.
Finding the right fit is part of the process. Janie works collaboratively with clients to choose approaches that match their goals, preferences, and what has or has not worked in the past, adjusting along the way as needs change.
Online therapy can make support easier to access. Sessions can take place through video calls or phone, and clients can also use live chat or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules, parenting demands, or times when meeting in person feels difficult.
