Approaches that guide online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice and accept difficult feelings while identifying personal values and taking committed steps toward them. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life transitions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on the relationship between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Shelby uses CBT tools to help clients spot unhelpful thinking patterns and practice different responses to reduce distress.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Shelby will discuss goals and preferences and suggest methods that fit each person’s situation. She adjusts techniques over time as needs change so the work feels practical and relevant.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to match different routines. Video offers face-to-face conversation, phone can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, and messaging works for brief check-ins or ongoing practice. These options make it easier to fit sessions into a workday, manage childcare needs, or keep regular contact while building new skills.
