How Shannon Uses Talk Therapy Methods Online
Shannon often combines cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness therapy in online sessions. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps people notice thought patterns that increase stress or anxiety and then practice different, more helpful responses. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple awareness and grounding exercises to reduce overwhelm and improve focus during daily life.She approaches these methods in a collaborative way. The therapist and client decide together which strategies to try based on current needs, goals, and preferences. That means adjustments are made over time when something isn’t working or when a new issue comes up.
Online work is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which makes scheduling more flexible. Video is useful for deeper conversations and visual cues, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat allows short check-ins, and messaging works well for brief updates or ongoing coaching between sessions. These formats help people fit sessions into busy routines and keep momentum between meetings.
