Background and approach
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas help clients clarify values and take small, meaningful steps toward them. She has five years of experience working with concerns like depression, trauma and abuse, addictions, and grief. She also supports people facing relationship problems, parenting stress, work-related strain, and struggles with self-esteem.
Issues such as social anxiety, sexual assault recovery, and mood disorders are also within her focus areas. Sessions are conversational and practical. Shaiuana works with clients to set realistic goals, practice new skills between sessions, and check progress regularly.
She uses motivational interviewing when people need encouragement to change habits like substance use. Therapy is offered in English and delivered online by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging. To start, people complete a short questionnaire and then schedule sessions based on the therapist's availability.
How evidence-based therapies translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values while accepting uncomfortable thoughts or feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and building practical coping skills for anxiety, depression, and mood problems. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple present-moment practices to reduce reactivity and improve emotional awareness.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. This may mean trying a few techniques, adjusting them over time, and tracking what helps most in daily life.
Online work is designed for flexibility and access. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and interactive skill practice. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins, homework support, and quick reflections between sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to use timely tools exactly when they are needed.
