Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, often called ACT, helps people clarify what matters most to them and take steps toward those values even when difficult thoughts or emotions arise. It is often used for anxiety, stress, and coping with life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns of relating that develop from early relationships and how those patterns affect current connections, making it useful for relationship concerns, parenting, and attachment issues. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and empathy, allowing clients to explore their experiences at their own pace while the therapist offers support and understanding.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Shawna works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She partners with each person to try approaches and adjust the plan as progress and insights emerge.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can happen by video call or phone, and some work can continue through live chat or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, to maintain momentum between sessions, and to connect with licensed professionals and therapists from different locations.
