Remote options and therapeutic approaches



Shetara uses a combination of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to help clients identify patterns in thinking and learn practical skills for managing emotions and behaviors. CBT is described in straightforward terms to examine links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. DBT provides concrete strategies for distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness that can be practiced between sessions.

She also incorporates Trauma-Focused Therapy when addressing histories of abuse or traumatic events, using structured techniques to process trauma-related memories and reduce their ongoing impact. Mindfulness-based elements and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy concepts are woven in to support present-moment awareness and values-guided action when appropriate.

Shetara works with clients collaboratively to tailor these approaches to individual needs and goals. Online care is available by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to support ongoing communication and intervention in formats that fit client preferences.
