How Shannon's approaches work online

Shannon draws on client-centered work to make sessions about what matters to each person. This approach focuses on listening, reflecting what the client says, and helping people name their priorities and values. It is useful when someone needs space to sort through emotions or decide on next steps.

She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which helps identify thoughts and habits that keep problems going and replaces them with practical alternatives. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep difficulties, and stress-related concerns. Together with motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques, these methods help set clear goals and small experiments between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose methods that fit their goals, preferences, and daily life. That may mean focusing on skill-building one week and values-based planning the next.
