How sessions work
How Shannon blends approaches for online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on building a collaborative relationship and setting goals the client cares about. It’s about listening carefully and shaping the work around what matters most to the person. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings and actions and offers concrete exercises to change patterns that feed anger, anxiety or depression. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance and clearer communication when feelings run high.Deciding which approach to use is part of the first sessions. Shannon works with clients to choose methods that match their goals, symptoms and preferences. That means experiments with skills, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together rather than following a fixed script.
The therapist’s biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm the exact session types available before you book. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people join from another location without travel time. These practical benefits help therapy fit into work, family life, or recovery routines while maintaining a collaborative approach to anger and related concerns.
