How her approaches translate to online therapy
Shannon integrates Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in ways that fit many people’s everyday needs. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on building a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship so someone feels heard and understood, which helps when exploring pain from trauma and loss. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers concrete tools for reducing anxiety, improving sleep, or managing mood swings.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Shannon treats this as a collaboration and will help identify which methods match a person’s goals and preferences. That might mean emphasizing skill practice from CBT for anxiety or using emotionally-focused techniques where attachment and relationship patterns matter most.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed.
