Evidence-based approaches, made accessible online

Shannon Salgado draws from several established therapy models that can translate well to online sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and everyday behaviors, then practicing more effective ways of responding - a practical fit for concerns like stress, anxiety, and social anxiety. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients build psychological flexibility by making room for difficult thoughts and feelings while taking steps toward values-based action, which can be useful when life feels stuck or overwhelming. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, supporting steadier coping during intense moments and relationship strain.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Shannon collaborates with each client to understand goals, preferences, and what has or has not been helpful in the past, then tailors the therapy process accordingly.

Online therapy also offers practical flexibility. Clients can connect with Shannon through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit support into real life, whether at home, during travel, or across time zones for international clients.
