Therapeutic Approaches That Translate Well to Online Sessions
Shakira Thomas draws from practical, supportive methods that can work well in an online setting. In Client-Centered Therapy, the focus stays on the client’s lived experience, values, and strengths. This approach can be especially helpful when stress, grief, or relationship concerns feel overwhelming and a person wants a steady, respectful space to sort through what matters most.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps connect thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, and can support clients who want concrete tools for anxiety, anger, or low mood. It often involves noticing unhelpful patterns and practicing new ways of responding. Mindfulness Therapy can also be integrated to build awareness of the present moment, which may help with emotional reactivity, rumination, and day-to-day stress management.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Shakira works collaboratively with clients to understand their goals and preferences, and to shape sessions in a way that feels realistic and supportive.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options can make it easier to stay consistent with therapy, fit sessions into a busy routine, and get support in a format that matches a client’s comfort level.
