Online support
How approaches like CBT and DBT work online
Shannon commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy skills to help people change unhelpful patterns and manage strong emotions. CBT focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and then testing new ways of thinking and acting to reduce anxiety, depression, or substance use. DBT skills teach concrete techniques for regulating emotions, tolerating distress, and improving communication, which can help with relationship strain and intense mood swings.Motivational interviewing is another tool she uses to build readiness for change. It involves a collaborative conversation about what matters to the person and what small steps feel doable. Shannon works together with each client to decide which combination of approaches fits their goals and daily life, adapting techniques as needed over time.
Online sessions can be done by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to match practical needs. Video allows a fuller interaction similar to in-person work, phone can be easier on low bandwidth days, and chat or messaging supports quick check-ins and skill practice between appointments. These options make it possible to fit therapy into work breaks, caregiving schedules, or days when travel isn’t an option.
