Evidence-Based Techniques and Accessible Online Care

Shannan uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that teach practical coping skills for issues like stress, anxiety, mood struggles, and self-esteem challenges. These approaches focus on skill building, behavioral change, and developing strategies clients can apply in daily life to manage symptoms and improve functioning.

She also employs trauma-informed methods designed to help people process experiences of trauma and abuse and to develop healthier coping with addiction-related impulses. These methods emphasize safety, pacing, and helping clients build resilience over time.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work itself, and Shannan collaborates with clients to determine what fits best based on individual needs, goals, and preferences. Together they explore options and adjust the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with Shannan is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which provides flexibility for scheduling and makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. These remote options allow clients to access consistent support from a licensed professional from the location that works best for them.
