Online support
Evidence-informed approaches for online sessions
Shannon uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify what matters to them and take small, meaningful actions even when difficult thoughts or feelings show up. ACT can be useful for anxiety, stress, and life changes where values-based action matters. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and build practical skills for mood, sleep, and coping with worry.Shannon frames the choice of approach as a collaboration. She will talk with each person about their concerns, goals, and what feels most useful, then suggest strategies to try. Together they track what helps and adjust the plan over time so the work matches the person’s needs and preferences.
Online therapy offers flexibility and fits different rhythms of life. Video calls let people work face to face when a longer conversation is needed. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is preferred. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to fit short updates into a busy day or to reach out between sessions. These formats let people access a licensed professional from Louisiana while keeping appointments practical for varied schedules.
