How narrative and practical approaches work online
Shannon commonly draws on Narrative Therapy to help people rewrite the stories that shape their lives, and she uses Client-Centered Therapy to keep the conversation focused on the person’s experience and choices. Narrative work can be helpful for identity, grief, or feeling stuck, while client-centered work supports someone who needs acceptance and gentle exploration.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) methods to identify patterns in thinking and behavior and to try clear, doable experiments between sessions. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and managing stress because it breaks worries into steps you can practice and measure.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. Shannon will talk about goals and try methods that fit a person’s needs and preferences. Techniques can be adjusted over time as progress and challenges emerge.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video lets you use visual cues and longer talks, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be good for shorter check-ins, and text messaging helps people who prefer writing or need quick support. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or busy family routines.
