Background and approach

For anxiety and stress she works on small, doable changes that lower daily tension. When depression or low confidence are present she helps people notice patterns that keep them stuck and identifies realistic next steps. Shields frames therapy as a partnership.

She listens first, then suggests approaches that match a person’s needs and pace. Sessions involve talk, simple exercises, and setting small goals to build momentum outside of sessions. Her background includes work across clinical settings over a decade and a half, with particular attention to life transitions such as divorce or caregiver strain.

That history informs a pragmatic style that aims to make progress feel manageable rather than overwhelming. People who prefer clear structure and concrete tools tend to do well with her approach. She offers sessions that fit busy schedules and supports clients who want both short-term relief and longer-term change.

Evidence-based approaches and flexible online care

Two evidence-based therapeutic techniques often used for anxiety and mood concerns are cognitive behavioral methods and problem-solving strategies. Cognitive behavioral methods help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try alternative ways of thinking and acting to reduce anxiety and low mood. Problem-solving strategies break larger worries into smaller steps and help people test practical solutions for relationship, work, or caregiver stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and daily life. Together they will adjust techniques over time based on what helps most.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to match different needs. Video calls let people talk face to face when they prefer visual contact. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a break at work. Live chat or text are useful for shorter check-ins and ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to schedule consistent care while keeping therapy practical and accessible.
