How her approaches work for online therapy
Shaunta uses Client-Centered Therapy to keep the focus on the person’s experience and priorities. That means conversations start with what matters most to the client and the therapist follows the client’s pace. This approach helps when people need empathy and a steady listener while sorting through difficult choices.She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which helps identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. CBT is useful for anxiety, low mood, and many daily struggles because it breaks problems into specific patterns to work on between sessions.
Finding the right combination of methods is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences and will try approaches that fit those needs. Decisions about techniques are collaborative and adjusted over time based on what helps.
Confirm the available session formats before booking since specific options are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to schedule appointments around work or caregiving, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter or more frequent check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals can use these benefits to fit therapy into daily life without changing the therapy goals.
