Approach to Online Sessions



Shawna Morrison-Flood offers an online approach that begins with meeting clients where they are and building a collaborative plan. She uses client-centered therapy to create a respectful, engaging space in which clients set priorities and the clinician listens for values and goals. That style supports collaboration and helps clarify what a person wants to accomplish in treatment.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify and work with patterns of thought and behavior that contribute to distress. In online sessions this can include skill development, behavioral experiments, and practical strategies to address anxiety, depression, and mood concerns. Motivational Interviewing is another tool she draws on to explore readiness for change and to support clients as they strengthen commitment to specific goals.

Online work is available through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options are described up front so clients and clinician can choose formats that fit the client’s communication preferences and therapeutic goals.
