Approach-focused care delivered online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people identify what matters to them and take small actions toward those values even when emotions are strong. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life changes where clarity and commitment help drive progress.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on changing patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going. It works well for anxiety, depression, anger, and habit-related issues by teaching specific skills and practice tasks.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers practical emotion regulation strategies, distress tolerance tools, and communication skills. These tools help when emotions feel intense or when impulsive reactions cause problems.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Shane collaborates with each person to pick methods that fit their goals and preferences. He adjusts the plan as progress is made and new needs arise so the work stays relevant.
Online sessions are available as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be helpful when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text messaging suit brief updates, skill coaching between sessions, or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to schedule care around work, family, and other obligations.
