How sessions work
How Shannon’s approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, helping clients set their own goals, and shaping session conversation around what matters most. It is useful when someone wants an open, respectful dialogue about parenting, family strain, or self-esteem. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down unhelpful thoughts and habits into manageable steps and offers concrete tools for anxiety, depression, and anger. It tends to be action-oriented and works well when someone wants specific coping strategies.Deciding which approach fits best is a collaborative process. The therapist will review concerns and goals with the client and suggest starting methods, then adjust as progress is seen. The client’s preferences and day-to-day realities guide how techniques are combined and paced.
Confirm the available session formats before booking so you know what is offered. Many people find online sessions help fit counseling into busy days, making it easier to have shorter check-ins, set regular appointments around work or caregiving, or avoid travel time. Online work can also make it simpler to use mindfulness exercises and homework between meetings. The therapist will help plan how sessions fit into the client’s schedule and goals.
