How these approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most to them and take small steps toward those values. It uses mindful awareness and committed action to reduce avoidance and move past stuck patterns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments to reduce anxiety and panic. It often includes short between-session tasks to practice new skills. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices that lower reactivity and support better emotion regulation; these practices are easy to adapt to daily routines.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Shawn will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, needs, and pace. She combines listening with clear suggestions and adjusts techniques as progress is observed so the plan stays useful and relevant.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for longer sessions that include skill demonstrations, while phone sessions can be a good option when video bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text messaging suit brief check-ins or step-by-step coaching between longer appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep momentum between sessions.
