Approaches used in online sessions and practical fit
Shantel describes her work as using evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on the person and their goals. One common approach she uses helps people notice how thoughts and behaviors keep problems going and teaches concrete strategies to change those patterns. This can be useful for anxiety, panic, and mood-related problems.Another approach focuses on attachment and relationship patterns. It looks at how early and current relationships shape expectations and reactions, and it helps people experiment with new ways of communicating and setting boundaries. That approach can help with relationship strain, communication problems, and feelings of isolation or shame.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. She works with each person to decide what feels most useful based on goals, preferences, and how symptoms show up. The therapist adjusts methods over time if something is not helping.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Talk with her during the matching questionnaire about practical needs like quieter surroundings, camera use, or shorter sessions so the format matches day-to-day life.
