Shanton draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical coping and recovery. One approach helps people learn concrete coping skills for panic, anxiety, and mood swings by practicing calming steps and problem-solving in session. Another approach centers on processing trauma and post-traumatic stress through careful, paced conversations that aim to reduce symptoms and improve day-to-day functioning.Choosing the right approach is a joint process. The therapist will work with each person to match methods to their goals, needs, and comfort level, and will adjust the plan as progress is made. Expect a collaborative discussion about what is working and what to try next.
If you are considering online work, confirm the specific session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when a full session isn't needed.
