How Shannon’s approaches work online
Shannon often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on noticing and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors to reduce anxiety and improve daily functioning. CBT is practical and problem-focused, often involving exercises between sessions to practice new skills. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which centers the conversation on the person’s perspective. That approach emphasizes listening and reflecting so the client can clarify goals and decide what steps to take next. Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the work. Shannon will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and the specific problems they bring. Decisions about pacing and tasks happen together, and can change over time as needs shift. The biography does not specify which remote session formats are provided, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a weekday routine, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Some formats use less bandwidth or do not require video, which can help when a quick conversation is needed or when screen time is difficult. Licensed professionals adapt tools and exercises used in person so people can continue progress across different settings.Areas of expertise
