Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions fit
Shannon uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide work on anxiety, trauma, and relationship issues. One common technique focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce anxiety and improve mood. This approach helps with panic, social anxiety, and persistent worry.Another technique emphasizes talking through difficult experiences and memories in a paced way to reduce their ongoing impact. This helps people who struggle with trauma, post-traumatic stress, or deep shame and guilt to regain clearer daily functioning.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Shannon works collaboratively to choose which techniques to use based on the client’s goals, symptoms, and preferences. She revisits the plan and adjusts methods as progress is tracked.
