Evidence-based approaches and online care that fit your life
Shena uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions and help clients manage strong emotions and life stress. One common approach focuses on teaching concrete coping skills for emotions like anger and anxiety, helping people identify triggers and practice alternative responses that reduce escalation. Another approach centers on processing trauma and building safety in daily routines, which can lower distress and improve functioning after difficult experiences.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options, try techniques, and adjust plans based on the client's goals, preferences, and what proves most helpful in practice. Decisions are collaborative and paced to the client's comfort.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited or for a quicker check-in, live chat fits people who prefer typing in the moment, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and different lifestyles.
