Online session options
Narrative and Evidence-Based Tools for Online Work
Shannon uses Narrative Therapy to help people examine the stories they tell about their lives and to find alternative, more helpful ways of understanding themselves. Narrative work focuses on separating a person from their problems so new choices become visible.She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which centers the person’s perspective and aims to create a respectful, collaborative relationship. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is another common tool she uses to identify patterns of thinking and behavior and to develop practical steps for change, useful for anxiety, mood, and coping with life changes.
Finding the best approach is part of the work together. Shannon will discuss goals, preferences, and needs and help choose methods that fit. That decision is collaborative and can change as therapy progresses.
The therapist biography did not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make scheduling easier, reduce travel time, and allow therapy to fit into daily life more readily. Different approaches also suit different moments - a shorter check-in, a skills-focused session, or deeper narrative work can each be arranged to match the client's needs.
