Approaches that translate well to online care
Shanton uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that are practical and goal-focused. One approach emphasizes building coping skills and behavioral strategies to manage strong emotions, such as anger or panic; it helps people reduce reactive behavior and try alternative responses. Another approach addresses trauma and stress by helping a person process difficult experiences in paced steps, with tools to manage overwhelming feelings and improve day-to-day functioning.Choosing the right technique is part of the work together. Shanton collaborates with each person to identify what feels most useful based on their needs, goals, and preferences. She adjusts methods over time if something isn’t working or if priorities change.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video works well for deeper conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Text and chat are useful for quick check-ins, short skill practice, or when someone prefers written communication. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to continue progress even when life gets hectic.
