Background and approach

Sessions blend direct problem-solving with reflective talk. Dr. Shaw listens for patterns that keep people stuck and suggests concrete strategies to try between appointments.

She checks in about what worked and adjusts the plan over time. Her background includes more than a decade of clinical practice and licensure as a clinical social worker in Washington and Florida. That experience includes helping people navigate divorce, caregiver stress, workplace challenges, and substance issues.

People often come with relationship or intimacy concerns, shame or guilt, money worries, or multicultural stress. Dr. Shaw supports women’s issues, first responder stress, and young adult transitions.

She uses a coaching-minded approach when people want goal-focused help. Sessions are offered in English and conducted online through video, phone, chat, or text messaging. For practical next steps she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a time that fits their needs.

Evidence-based approaches and online care

Dr. Shaw uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and symptom relief. One common approach is skills-based work that teaches breathing, grounding, and coping strategies for anxiety and stress; these tools help people manage moments of overwhelm and build steadier daily routines.

She also uses problem-focused coaching methods to set clear goals, break them into steps, and track progress; this style works well for career challenges, motivation, and life transitions. For substance and addiction concerns she emphasizes harm-reduction strategies and planning to reduce risk and increase safety.

Finding the right mix of techniques is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your goals and preferences, try approaches that fit your situation, and adjust based on what helps. Clients are invited to give feedback so sessions stay practical and relevant.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more convenient. Video lets you have a face-to-face conversation, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing contact between sessions. These options help people fit therapy into busy schedules and different daily routines.
