How therapy approaches work online
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s priorities. The therapist listens deeply, reflects what she hears, and helps people find their own solutions to anxiety and life stress.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. Shawntay uses CBT techniques to teach practical skills for managing anxious thinking and improving mood.
Emotionally-focused ideas guide work on relationships and strong feelings. This approach helps people name emotions, understand patterns, and shift how they respond to painful moments.
Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Shawntay will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels useful. Together they try directions that fit and adjust based on what helps.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is helpful when seeing facial cues matters, phone is useful for lower bandwidth or a quick check-in, and chat or text can work for brief exchanges or ongoing check-ins between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy days and different routines.
