Therapeutic Techniques and Online Care

Shawntia commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, a practical method that helps clients notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to improve mood and daily functioning. This approach is well suited to concerns such as depression, anxiety, stress, and self-esteem issues.

She also incorporates motivational interviewing, a client-focused style that explores readiness for change and builds internal motivation. This technique supports people working through ambivalence about change and can be helpful with addictions, lifestyle shifts, and goal-directed work.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Shawntia works collaboratively with each person to determine which techniques fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting plans as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers flexibility in how sessions are scheduled and delivered. Sessions can occur by video call, over the phone, via live chat, or through text-based messaging, which can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and maintain continuity of care with licensed professionals and therapists.
