Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Shea commonly draws from Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing in online work. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) focuses on building concrete skills for managing intense emotions, improving relationships, and reducing impulsive behaviors - it often includes practical tools for emotion regulation and interpersonal effectiveness. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and calm attention to thoughts and feelings, which can support stress reduction and clearer decision making. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative way of exploring ambivalence and strengthening a person’s own motivation to change, often used when people are considering shifts in behavior or goals.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Shea works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjusts the plan as progress unfolds. Clients are invited to share what feels most helpful so the work remains personalized.

Online therapy with Shea is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility to fit different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to attend sessions from home, manage ongoing support between meetings, and maintain consistent care even when life is busy or unpredictable.
