Online session options

How Narrative and ACT translate to online care

Online therapy with Shannon draws on Narrative Therapy to help people reframe the stories they tell about themselves. That work looks at how past events and relationships shape current reactions and then explores alternative, kinder narratives to try out in daily life.

She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without letting them dictate behavior. ACT helps people clarify values and take small, committed actions toward a more meaningful life, which can be useful for anxiety, addiction, and stress.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Shannon will listen to your goals and suggest techniques from Narrative, ACT, or CBT that fit your needs. Together you can test what helps and adjust the plan as you go.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat lets you check in during a busy day, and text messaging supports brief check-ins or processing between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, parenting, or travel schedules and to keep continuity when life gets busy.
