How her approaches guide online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice what matters to them and take small committed steps toward those values while learning to live with difficult thoughts or feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and practicing specific skills to change how a person reacts and copes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in relationships and helps people understand and shift the ways they relate to others to feel more secure and connected.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Shannon treats this as a collaborative process and will review goals, preferences, and what feels most useful to the client. Together they try methods and adjust the focus so therapy fits the person's needs and stage of life.
Many people find online sessions easier to fit into busy lives, such as scheduling around work or caregiving, or choosing not to commute for a short check-in. The specific session formats available are not listed here, so confirm the current options before booking. Online work can include straightforward skill practice, values-based homework, and conversation about relationship patterns, all tailored to everyday life and health challenges.
