Background and approach

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thoughts and build new coping skills. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing is one tool she offers for people working through trauma symptoms. Sessions are collaborative and paced to fit the person’s comfort.

Shantel listens for patterns in relationships, mood, sleep, and energy, then helps set small, manageable goals. She often combines talk work with concrete exercises to try between meetings. She has eight years of clinical experience and holds an Oklahoma LMFT credential.

Her background includes helping people dealing with depression, addictions, ADHD, eating and sleep difficulties, caregiver strain, and identity concerns. Shantel also supports people facing body image issues, chronic illness, and complicated grief. Therapy can include short-term skill building or longer work on deeper wounds.

For many clients she helps with communication skills, emotional regulation, and making day-to-day life feel more manageable.

How therapy approaches translate to online care

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early bonds shape current relationships and emotional responses; online sessions explore these patterns and work on safer ways to connect and communicate. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thoughts and behaviors by teaching concrete skills for anxiety, depression, and stress management; in remote sessions this often includes structured exercises and homework to try between meetings. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is an approach used for processing traumatic memories and reducing their hold on daily life; parts of EMDR can be adapted for virtual sessions when appropriate.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will review symptoms, goals, and preferences and suggest methods that fit the person's needs. Clients and the therapist check in over time and adjust techniques if something isn't helping.

Online therapy offers practical benefits like flexible scheduling and multiple ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face work and visual cues, phone sessions use less bandwidth, live chat is useful for short check-ins, and text-based messaging supports ongoing reflections between sessions. These options can make it easier to keep appointments and maintain momentum while working on stress, anxiety, relationships, or trauma-related concerns.
