04Online support
Online approaches that teach skills and build momentum
Shannon uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thinking and change behaviors that maintain mood or anxiety problems. CBT focuses on small experiments and practical skills to reduce distress and improve daily routines.She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy to teach coping skills for emotional regulation, grounding, and distress tolerance. DBT techniques are useful for managing impulsivity and avoiding overreactions when someone feels triggered.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Shannon will talk with each person about what feels most useful and adapt methods to their goals and preferences. That collaborative process helps decide whether more CBT, DBT skills, or motivational work is best for the situation.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for skills practice, phone sessions can fit into a work break or require less bandwidth, and live chat or text messaging work well for brief check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent and tailored to everyday life.
