Therapeutic Tools That Translate Well to Online Sessions
Shannon Williams draws from several evidence-informed approaches that can work well in online therapy. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the connection between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It can be helpful when someone wants structured support for concerns like stress, anxiety, depression, or everyday coping skills.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes learning to make room for difficult thoughts and emotions while taking steps toward what matters most. This approach can support people who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or pulled off course by worry, urges, or painful experiences.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) builds practical skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. It can be a good fit when emotions feel intense, relationships feel reactive, or coping patterns are hard to shift.
Because therapy is not one-size-fits-all, finding the right approach is part of the work. Shannon collaborates with clients to clarify goals, understand preferences, and choose strategies that fit both the person and the moment.
Online therapy also offers flexibility in how sessions happen. Clients can meet by video calls or phone sessions, and they may also use live chat or text-based messaging, making it easier to stay engaged between sessions and fit support into a busy schedule.
