How her approaches translate to online work
Shannon uses mindfulness therapy to help people notice thoughts, sensations, and emotions in real time; this can support stress management, body image work, and impulse awareness. Motivational interviewing is used to explore readiness for change and to strengthen personal reasons for taking action. Solution-focused therapy focuses on small, practical steps and on building immediate strategies to move forward.Finding the right approach is part of the process. She will collaborate with each person to identify which methods fit their goals and preferences. That collaboration includes checking in on what works and adjusting the plan as sessions proceed.
Confirm the current session options before booking, since formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove travel time so people can use breaks at work or home more efficiently. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, mindfulness practice, and motivational conversations to remote visits so the work stays practical and focused.
