Evidence-based approaches and online therapy options

Shannon uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and emotional understanding. One common approach she uses involves helping people identify unhelpful thought and behavior patterns, then practicing small, achievable changes to those patterns. This helps with anxiety, panic attacks, and low mood by teaching clearer ways to respond to stress.

Another approach centers on understanding attachment and relationship patterns. That work looks at how past relationships shape current reactions and communication, and it helps people make different choices in relationships and daily interactions. This approach can be useful for communication problems, control issues, and struggles with trust or isolation.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Shannon will collaborate with each person to decide which techniques fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they adjust the plan over time based on what is helpful and what is not.

Online therapy formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions let you see facial cues and talk in real time, while phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, quick coping strategies, or times when writing feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit sessions into a busy schedule and keep continuity of care regardless of location.
