Evidence-based approaches and online care
Shane uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on changing unhelpful thoughts and patterns and on strengthening relationships. One common approach helps people identify and reframe anxious thoughts so they interfere less with daily life and social situations. Another approach looks at attachment and communication patterns to improve how people relate to partners and close others and to reduce conflict and distance.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Shane will work with each person to choose methods that match their goals, identity, and comfort level, and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make care flexible. Video calls are useful for more in-depth conversations, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can support quick check-ins, and messaging lets someone send updates or questions between appointments. These options help fit therapy into work, school, or family schedules and make it easier to keep steady momentum in the work.
