How therapy approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and coping with life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and communication, and it can help with relationship tension and parenting challenges. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Shannon will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they decide whether to emphasize acceptance strategies, attachment work, or practical cognitive techniques and adjust the plan over time. Online work offers practical flexibility. Video calls let therapists see nonverbal cues and run longer sessions. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat or text messaging allow quick check-ins, brief coaching, and ongoing support between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, caregiving routines, or work breaks while keeping the focus on useful, goal-focused tools.Questions people ask about Shannon
