Therapeutic Tools That Translate Well to Online Care
In online sessions, Shawntay Fenyo draws from approaches that help clients better understand emotions, patterns, and choices in everyday life. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a supportive, respectful space where clients can explore what they are going through and clarify what they want to change, which can be especially helpful during life transitions, grief, or periods of feeling stuck.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical ways to notice unhelpful thought patterns and build new responses, supporting concerns like stress, anxiety, and depression. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps clients identify and work with core emotions, which can be useful when trauma, loss, or relationship experiences have made feelings harder to access or express.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Shawntay works collaboratively with clients to shape therapy around their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies as new insights and priorities emerge over time.
Online therapy also makes support more accessible. Clients can meet by video calls or phone sessions, or choose live chat and text-based messaging for added flexibility. These options can make it easier to stay connected to therapy while balancing work, family responsibilities, or changing schedules.
