Background and approach
Shamona often blends short-term strategies with deeper work on self-worth and life purpose. Her practice includes support for trauma and abuse, intimate concerns, parenting strain, and challenges related to identity such as LGBT matters and multicultural issues. She also addresses areas like body image, impulsivity, isolation, and communication problems.
Those living with visual impairment are also listed among her focus areas. Shamona brings 14 years of experience to her work and emphasizes cultural responsiveness. She aims to listen first, then tailor an approach that fits a person’s background and goals.
The result is a plan that typically includes practical steps and regular review. In sessions she draws on Client-Centered methods, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Narrative Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy. These approaches help people reframe difficult thoughts, tell new stories about their lives, and test small changes that add up over time.
How Shamona’s Approaches Work Online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person’s experience. It helps people feel heard and encourages them to find their own answers to relationship, identity, and life purpose questions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thinking and behavior that keep stress and anxiety active; it helps people test new thoughts and try small behavior changes to feel better.Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to identify goals, try an approach, and adjust based on what works. That means plans can change as progress is made, and methods are chosen to match the client’s needs and preferences.
Online sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that is helpful. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat and text messaging are useful for quick check-ins or when someone prefers not to be on camera. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while working with licensed professionals and therapists who adapt methods to online formats.
