Evidence-based approaches for online care

Shay draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and insight to address stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship or family concerns. One approach emphasizes skill-building - teaching coping strategies, stress management tools, and emotion regulation techniques that clients can apply in everyday situations to reduce distress and improve functioning.

A second approach centers on interpersonal and family-focused work, helping clients identify interaction patterns, improve communication, and set healthy boundaries within relationships and parenting roles. These strategies aim to strengthen connection and problem-solving within families and couples.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. Shay works with each client to identify goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, adjusting techniques over time so the work stays aligned with the client’s needs.

Online therapy with Shay is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility and accessibility. These options allow clients to receive consistent, ongoing support from a licensed professional in ways that fit busy schedules and different comfort levels.
