Motivational interviewing is part of her approach to meet people where they are and support gradual change.

Shawntia aims to give concrete tools that clients can use between sessions.
Conversations are practical and focused on small steps toward improvement. Shawntia practices in Florida and conducts sessions in English. People connect through video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging.
She encourages those ready to take a first step to use the online matching process to find a time that fits their schedule.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Shawntia uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change thought patterns that contribute to anxiety, depression, and everyday stress. Sessions focus on identifying specific thoughts, testing them, and trying practical alternatives that can improve mood and behavior.She also uses supportive therapy to help clients manage strong emotions and get through difficult periods like grief or burnout. This approach offers empathy, active listening, and steady feedback to help people feel less overwhelmed and more able to cope.
Motivational interviewing is part of her routine when people feel unsure about change. It focuses on what matters to the person, drawing out their own reasons for taking steps forward and breaking goals into manageable actions.
Finding the right mix of approaches is collaborative. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try methods that fit their needs, and adjust plans based on what helps. Clients are encouraged to steer the process and bring up what works or what doesn’t.
Online therapy lets people connect in ways that fit their life. Video calls support face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging offer shorter check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around work, caregiving, or other commitments.
