Evidence-informed approaches and flexible online care
Shanton uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques in straightforward ways. One common approach focuses on building coping skills to manage anxiety and stress, teaching simple breathing, grounding, and behavioral strategies that reduce overwhelm and improve daily functioning. Another approach emphasizes problem-solving and goal setting to address relationship strains, parenting challenges, and life transitions, breaking bigger issues into concrete steps that feel doable.Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Shanton will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and then recommend techniques to try. She checks in regularly and adjusts the plan so the work stays relevant and helpful as progress unfolds.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video is useful for deeper conversations and visual cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat suit shorter check-ins or people juggling busy schedules. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, childcare, or unpredictable days while still keeping therapy consistent.
