Integrating evidence-based approaches with online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify their values and learn practical skills to accept difficult thoughts and feelings while taking committed action toward meaningful goals. It can be useful for stress, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns formed in early relationships and how they show up in adult connections; it can help with relationship difficulties, intimacy issues, abandonment concerns, and family dynamics. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers practical strategies to shift unhelpful patterns - it is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and coping skills training.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Shannon works collaboratively with clients to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques over time so treatment aligns with what the client finds most helpful.

Online therapy with Shannon is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to receive consistent support from a licensed professional without traveling, and they allow clients to choose the communication style that best supports their progress.
