Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) invites clients to clarify personal values and take committed action toward a meaningful life, while learning to relate differently to difficult thoughts and feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and developing practical skills to change behaviors and reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused approach that helps process distressing memories and reduce their emotional intensity, often used when past events continue to affect present functioning.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Shawna will work together with each client to understand their needs, goals, and preferences and to tailor interventions that fit their situation, adjusting methods as progress is made.
Online therapy with Shawna is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and allow ongoing support from licensed professionals and therapists in formats that suit different comfort levels and practical needs.
