How her approaches translate to online work

Shannon commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her practice. Client-Centered Therapy means the therapist listens closely, follows the client’s lead, and shapes sessions around what matters most to the person. This approach helps people set their own goals and feel heard. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Shannon will review your needs, goals, and preferences and suggest which methods to try first. Together you can adjust the pace and tools over time so the work fits how you want to make progress.

The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, allow a shorter check-in when needed, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals can use structured CBT exercises, mindfulness practices, and solution-focused planning in remote sessions to help maintain momentum between meetings.
