Approach and Flexibility in Online Therapy
Dr. Shunda McCoy draws from several evidence-based approaches to support clients working through relationship challenges, stress, anxiety, and life transitions. In Client-Centered Therapy, the focus is on creating a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where clients can explore feelings, values, and goals at their own pace, which can be especially helpful when building self-esteem, self-love, and clarity about life purpose.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a practical approach that helps clients notice unhelpful thought patterns and experiment with new ways of responding. CBT can be useful when emotions like worry, low mood, or irritability start to affect relationships, motivation, or daily routines. For couples and relationship concerns, the Gottman Method offers structured tools for communication, conflict management, and rebuilding connection, including after breaches of trust such as infidelity.
Finding the right style of therapy is part of the process. Dr. McCoy works collaboratively with clients to identify what feels most helpful, then adapts the approach based on needs, goals, and preferences over time.
Online therapy makes it easier to stay consistent with support through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. This flexibility can help clients fit therapy into busy schedules, reduce barriers to getting started, and choose the format that feels most comfortable from session to session.
