How evidence-based work translates to online care
Shawnette often uses evidence-based techniques that focus on clear skills and behavior changes. One common approach teaches practical coping strategies for anxiety and stress, such as breathing and activity planning, to reduce overwhelming moments. These techniques help people regain a sense of control and calm in daily life.Another helpful method centers on improving communication and family interactions. This approach breaks problems into specific patterns and practices new ways of talking and listening, which can ease conflict and improve closeness. It is useful for parenting questions, blended family issues, and family of origin concerns.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Shawnette works with each person to match methods to their goals, needs, and comfort level. She checks in regularly and adjusts the plan as progress is made so the work feels relevant and doable.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules.

These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while managing work, caregiving, and travel.
