Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Care

Shantizia Figgs uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help clients identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors; this approach is often useful for anxiety, depression, and mood-related concerns. Motivational interviewing is another tool she employs to support people who are ambivalent about change - it focuses on building internal motivation and setting achievable goals. Solution-focused therapy complements these methods by concentrating on practical steps and strengths-based solutions to move clients toward their immediate goals.

Finding the best fit is part of the collaborative work she does with clients. Figgs partners with each person to assess needs, preferences, and goals, then adjusts techniques so the approach feels right for the individual. This cooperative process helps clarify priorities and keeps sessions action-oriented.

Online therapy with Figgs offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, to continue care from different locations within the permitted region, and to choose the communication style that feels most comfortable while working toward meaningful progress.
