How Shawna’s Methods Work Online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s own goals and pace. The therapist offers empathy and reflection so people can discover answers that feel right for them. This approach helps with self-esteem, relationship concerns, and making sense of life changes.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact. Shawna uses CBT techniques to help people notice unhelpful thinking, try new responses, and reduce symptoms of anxiety or depression. It is practical and often involves small homework tasks between sessions.
Existential Therapy helps people explore meaning, values, and life purpose. It can be useful for midlife concerns, feelings of emptiness, or coping with major transitions. Shawna blends this with more directive techniques when clients want concrete steps forward.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped in the past. Together they choose strategies that match the client’s needs and adapt them over time.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow face-to-face conversations when visual connection is helpful. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a work break. Live chat or text-based messaging is useful for brief check-ins, reflections, or ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent amid a busy life.
