Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people clarify their values and take meaningful actions even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. It can be helpful for stress, anxiety, life changes, and challenges that involve motivation and avoidance.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors through skills such as behavioral experiments, activity scheduling, and problem-solving. CBT is widely used for anxiety, depression, panic, and obsessive-compulsive concerns.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a structured approach aimed at reducing the intensity of distress linked to traumatic memories by processing those memories in a focused way. It can be used when past events continue to cause current symptoms.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Shannon works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. The selection of techniques can evolve as progress is made and priorities shift.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can occur by video call or phone, or through live chat and text-based messaging - making it easier to access care from home, work, or while managing chronic health concerns. These options help accommodate varied schedules and life demands while maintaining continuity of therapeutic work with licensed professionals.
