How Shannon’s Approaches Work Online
Shannon uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people identify unhelpful thought patterns and try different responses. CBT is often used for anxiety and depression and focuses on practical skills that can be practiced between sessions.She also uses Motivational Interviewing to help people clarify their priorities and strengthen their own reasons for change. This approach is useful when someone feels stuck or unsure about next steps and wants to build lasting motivation.
Choosing the right method is a collaborative process. Shannon will work with each person to match techniques to their goals and preferences, adjusting as progress is made. The work is conversational and goal driven, with regular check-ins about what is helping.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video lets people use visual cues and work through exercises together. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a camera is not wanted. Live chat and text messaging make it easier to fit shorter check-ins into a busy schedule and to stay connected between longer sessions.
