Therapeutic approaches and what online sessions offer
Shanique uses client-centered therapy to focus on each person’s perspective and needs. This approach means conversations are guided by what matters to you, and the therapist follows your lead to build trust and understanding.She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which helps identify unhelpful thoughts and replace them with more useful patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, panic, and coping with life changes because it turns ideas into concrete steps you can practice.
The therapist aims to find the best fit together. Shanique will help you and the therapist evaluate which methods match your goals and preferences, and she adjusts the approach as progress is made. This is a collaborative process rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.
Online therapy with Shanique is available by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is good when visual cues and conversation flow matter. Phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging can be useful for quick updates, shorter reflections, or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to fit sessions into busy schedules and varied routines.
