How her approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice their thoughts and choose actions that match their values rather than getting stuck in worry. It can be useful for stress, anxiety, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. It is often helpful for anxiety, depression, and sleep problems. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationship patterns shape feelings and behavior, and it can help with intimacy-related issues, relationship conflict, and some trauma responses. Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Shannon collaborates with each person to test techniques and adjust methods based on what feels most helpful. She checks in about goals, preferences, and how well different tools are working so the plan evolves over time. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions helpful because they fit more easily into a workday, avoid travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Online work also makes it possible to continue therapy across geographic moves or when schedules change. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, CBT, and attachment-focused work to an online setting by using exercises, in-session practice, and real-life tasks between meetings.
