Approaches that guide online work and how they help
Shannon draws on practical, evidence-based techniques that help people manage strong emotions and rebuild daily routines. One common approach focuses on skills training for anxiety and stress - learning breathing and attention exercises, testing unhelpful thoughts, and practicing small exposures to feared situations. This helps reduce avoidance and gives people tools they can use right away.Another approach centers on trauma-informed care and recovery. This involves pacing conversations about painful memories, building safety and grounding strategies, and developing step-by-step plans to handle triggers. It supports people who are healing from past abuse or post-traumatic stress by emphasizing stability and manageable progress.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Shannon works with each person to identify goals, preferences, and what feels culturally and personally meaningful. Together they try methods that fit the individual and adjust them over time so the work stays useful and realistic.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different days and needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can fit into a short break, live chat works for quick check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These formats make it easier to maintain regular therapy while fitting work, family, and other commitments.
