Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Dianna M Shaw draws primarily on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Narrative Therapy to support people working through emotional and practical challenges. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns; it is often used to address anxiety, depression, stress, and sleep or eating difficulties by teaching concrete coping skills and problem-solving strategies. Narrative Therapy centers on the stories people tell about their lives - it helps separate the person from the problem, reframe experiences, and uncover values and strengths that guide change.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Dianna works with each client to consider needs, goals, and personal preferences, adapting methods over time so therapy fits the individual's life and priorities. She aims to blend practical tools with reflective work to support meaningful progress.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for scheduling and continuity of care. These formats make it easier to access regular support from a licensed professional while balancing work, school, family, and other commitments.
