Remote options and therapeutic style
Shayna offers remote sessions by video, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging. These formats allow ongoing therapeutic conversation while using the same documented clinical approaches she uses in her practice.
She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clients clarify personal values and take meaningful action even when difficult thoughts and feelings are present. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to examine links among thoughts, emotions, and behaviors and to practice concrete strategies for changing unhelpful patterns. Client-Centered Therapy provides a collaborative framework in which the therapist listens closely, reflects, and follows the client's priorities to co-create goals.
This combination tends to fit people who want a collaborative, values-oriented process paired with practical skill building. If these approaches appeal, begin by using the Start Therapy button and completing the short matching questionnaire to see if her remote options and style align with your needs.
