How Shannon’s Approaches Work Online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on clarifying values and taking small actions that move a person toward what matters. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and empathy so clients can lead the pace and focus of sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then suggest methods to try. This is a team process - clients and the therapist adjust approach and pace over time based on what helps most.

The therapist's biography does not list specific online formats. Confirm the available session options before booking so you know how sessions will be held. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people join from different locations. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT and CBT techniques to remote settings so clients practice skills between visits and track small steps toward their goals.
