Evidence-informed approaches for online therapy

Sheena uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; CBT is practical and often useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and panic symptoms. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) complements this work by helping people clarify their values and build psychological flexibility - it is often helpful for coping with stress, chronic worry, and life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships and how early connections shape current interactions - this approach can be particularly useful for relationship concerns, family issues, and healing from relational trauma.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is treated as a collaborative process. Sheena works with each person to understand their goals, preferences, and the challenges they bring, adapting techniques and blending methods so treatment fits the individual rather than expecting the person to fit a single model.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to accommodate different schedules and locations. This format makes it easier for people who are balancing work, family, or travel to access support, and it allows licensed professionals to provide continuity of care for clients both locally and internationally.
