How evidence-based techniques work online
Shannon uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that translate well to online work. One common approach focuses on teaching practical coping skills to manage anxiety and stress, such as breathing, grounding, and activity planning to reduce overwhelm. These skills are practiced together and adapted to everyday routines.Another approach helps people shift unhelpful thinking and build self-esteem through short, structured exercises. This involves identifying negative thoughts, testing them with small experiments, and practicing alternative self-talk and behaviors that build confidence over time.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to goals and worries, try methods that feel doable, and adjust strategies based on what helps. Clients and the therapist check in often to decide what’s working and what to try next.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility for busy lives. Video calls let people work face-to-face from different locations. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging are useful for quick check-ins, shorter coping plans, or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit care into work, school, or family routines while focusing on real, achievable change.
