Online support
Working with motivation, mindfulness, and short-term solutions online
Mindfulness Therapy helps people notice thoughts and bodily reactions without getting stuck in them. It can be useful for stress, emotional reactivity, and building awareness around eating and self-talk. Motivational Interviewing is a conversation style that helps people find their own reasons to change and boost readiness for steps like reducing substance use or changing a health habit. Solution-Focused Therapy focuses on small, practical next steps and what is already working, which is helpful for career decisions, coping with life changes, and quick problem solving.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Shannon will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. She mixes techniques as needed and checks in to make sure the plan stays useful and realistic.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into daily life. Video is good for in-depth conversations, phone can work when bandwidth is limited, live chat and messaging allow quick check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These options provide flexibility for people balancing work, caregiving, or travel while maintaining regular contact with a licensed professional.
