Online support
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people get clearer on what matters to them and take committed actions toward those values. It often involves simple exercises to notice thoughts and choose actions that align with goals, which can be practiced between sessions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and how early connections shape current reactions. It helps people understand communication habits and develop different ways to connect and repair conflicts.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Shawn will listen to your goals, try methods that fit your situation, and adjust based on what helps. That collaborative process means the therapy plan changes as you progress and new priorities appear.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging. Video sessions let you use visual cues for relationship work and skill coaching. Phone sessions can be a lighter check-in when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging make brief check-ins or skill prompts easier to fit into a busy day. These options help make therapy more flexible and accessible for varied schedules and needs.
