Online support options
How these approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then identify values and take small actions that matter. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns, which often helps with anxiety, mood, and coping. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationship patterns shape current bonds and communication, and it can help people understand intimacy, trust, and attachment-related worries.Finding the best approach is part of the work together. Shannon will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts plans as progress unfolds. The aim is practical steps that feel relevant to daily life.
Confirm current session options before booking to be sure they meet your needs. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also allows focusing on skills practice and real-life application between meetings so that change continues outside session time.
