Online therapy options and therapeutic approaches
Shannon offers remote sessions using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to accommodate different communication preferences. These formats are used to deliver structured clinical work as well as reflective, exploratory conversations depending on the needs clients bring to each session.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps clients clarify personal values and practice present-moment awareness while making space for difficult feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying and testing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce predictable stress and anxiety triggers. Dialectical Behavior Therapy contributes skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness.
Clients who prefer an active, skills-based model or who want to work on emotional regulation and relationship patterns may find a collaborative fit with Shannon. She emphasizes working together to select the approaches and practices that align with each client’s goals, using the chosen remote mode of communication to maintain consistent, ongoing support.
