How her approaches translate to online work
Shannon uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. ACT can help with anxiety, depression, and major life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy is used to look at patterns from early relationships and how they show up in current connections; this work often helps with relationship strain and intimacy-related concerns.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Shannon will work together with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That means trying practical tools, checking in about what helps, and adjusting the plan over time so it stays useful.
The original biography does not specify which session formats are used, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit regular sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also let people try different communication styles while the therapist and client figure out what works best.
