Practical online care grounded in proven approaches
Shandrieka Vallare, LCSW, incorporates approaches that can translate well to online therapy while staying focused on each client’s real-life concerns and goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps clients notice how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact, and practice new ways of responding to stress, anxiety, depression, and everyday challenges. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) supports clients in making room for difficult emotions while taking steps toward what matters most to them, which can be especially helpful during life transitions and periods of uncertainty. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a supportive, respectful relationship that helps clients feel heard, clarify what they want, and build on personal strengths.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Shandrieka collaborates with clients to understand their needs, preferences, and priorities, then adjusts the pace and tools used in sessions to fit what is most helpful over time.
Online therapy adds flexibility without losing structure. Clients can meet by video calls or phone sessions, or use live chat and text-based messaging to stay engaged between sessions. This range of options can make it easier to fit support into busy schedules, parenting responsibilities, or changing routines.How much experience does Shandrieka Vallare have?
