Remote sessions with structured and exploratory methods



Shane integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and client-centered principles for remote work. In CBT he helps clients identify and reframe patterns of thinking and behavior through practical exercises and goal-focused planning. DBT provides a skills-based emphasis on emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. A client-centered stance keeps the sessions aligned with each person’s values and priorities.

These methods are presented collaboratively. Clients who prefer structured skill-building and measurable steps may find CBT and DBT a good match, while those wishing to explore personal narratives and meaning can work from a client-centered perspective alongside solution-focused techniques. Shane offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to accommodate different communication preferences and to support ongoing work between synchronous appointments.
