How Shea blends approaches for online work
Shea uses Motivational Interviewing to help people find their own reasons to change; sessions often focus on listening for strengths and exploring motivation in small steps. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is used to teach skills for noticing thoughts and feelings while pursuing meaningful actions despite discomfort. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) provides practical strategies to identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors that contribute to anxiety or low mood.
Finding the best approach is part of the work together. Shea will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That plan can change over time as progress or new concerns arise.
This profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people choose sessions that match their comfort with video, audio, or messaging when those are available. Licensed professionals aim to adapt sessions to reach practical goals and make therapy fit everyday life. -
