04Online support
Approaches that shape online sessions and practical tools
Shauna commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce distress and improve daily functioning. Dialectical Behavior Therapy teaches skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer interpersonal communication when feelings run high.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Shauna discusses goals and preferences with each person and together they choose techniques that fit the client’s situation. She adapts tools over time so sessions stay focused on what the client needs most.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversations when visual cues matter. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone needs a shorter check-in. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief updates, skill practice, or when writing feels more comfortable than speaking. These options let people fit therapy into workdays, caregiving schedules, or busy routines while using evidence-informed approaches.
