Evidence-based approaches and online options
Shane uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and problem-solving. One common approach helps people learn coping skills for anxiety and stress by identifying triggers and testing small behavior changes. Another approach targets mood and routine by building habits for sleep, activity, and self-care to reduce depressive symptoms and improve daily functioning.Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Shane works with each person to identify goals and preferences, then tries methods that fit those priorities. If something isn’t working, he adjusts the plan so therapy stays useful and relevant to real life.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let you see facial cues and have more of a conversation. Phone sessions can be a good choice when bandwidth is limited or you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, homework follow-up, or when you need flexible, shorter interactions. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy parenting schedules and geographic constraints.
