Approach-Focused Online Care with Practical Skills

Shauna uses client-centered therapy to create a respectful, collaborative space where the person’s experience guides the work - this approach emphasizes listening, validation, and tailoring treatment to the individual’s priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and habits, offering concrete strategies for managing symptoms like anxiety and depression. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be especially helpful for intense emotions, relationship struggles, and coping with crises.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Shauna collaborates with each client to determine which methods fit their goals, preferences, and life situation. She adapts techniques over time as progress and needs evolve, keeping the client involved in planning and decision making.

Online therapy with Shauna is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility and accessibility. These options allow clients to attend sessions from home, manage scheduling around work or family responsibilities, and use formats that feel most comfortable for their communication style while working with a licensed professional.
