Approaches that guide online care

Shawntrell uses several evidence-based techniques to guide his work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-world experiments to reduce anxiety and change behaviors. Dialectical Behavior Therapy offers concrete skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and improving communication in relationships. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative way to explore ambivalence and strengthen readiness for change, which is often useful in addiction and recovery work.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. The therapist will work together with each person to choose methods that match goals, values, and what feels most helpful. Plans are adjusted over time as progress and needs change, so the approach can shift as people move through recovery or face new challenges.

Confirm current session formats before booking to know which online options are offered. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also let people continue care during life transitions and make regular contact with a licensed professional more manageable.
