How Shivana works
Shivana offers straightforward tools for coping and problem solving rather than long theoretical explanations. Her practice addresses compassion fatigue and addictions alongside mood and panic concerns. She also supports people facing parenting stress, postpartum depression, and challenges around adoption and foster care.
Communication problems, isolation, and control issues are common topics she helps people sort through. Shivana uses a mix of methods including Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Jungian ideas, Gottman Method concepts, and Mindfulness Therapy. Those approaches guide conversations and practical exercises tailored to the person’s goals.
The focus is on identifying helpful habits and noticing patterns that get in the way. People who choose her work to manage anger, find life purpose, or rebuild self-love receive direct coaching and concrete next steps.

How key approaches work in online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and supporting the person as the expert on their own life. The therapist offers empathy and reflection while helping the client find their own solutions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors affect emotions and provides practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. These techniques are helpful for anxiety, panic, and mood symptoms.The therapist will collaborate with the person to decide which approaches fit best. Finding the right method is treated as part of the process rather than a one-time decision. Conversations about goals, preferences, and early results guide adjustments and next steps together.
The biography does not specify session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce travel time. It also lets people use tools and exercises in the moment and bring real-life situations into sessions to practice new skills.
