How her approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the person. The therapist creates an open space for someone to share their story and concerns while guiding the pace and focus of work. This approach helps when people need understanding and steady support during change.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses concrete exercises to test unhelpful beliefs and build different habits. CBT is often used for anxiety, low mood, and stress that interfere with daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Shamona collaborates with each client to pick methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. She will check in over time and adjust techniques so the work feels useful and relevant.

Online therapy can make regular meetings easier to fit into a busy week. It can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and make it simpler to keep continuity between sessions. Confirm current session options before booking to know which formats are offered. The emphasis is on making therapy practical and usable in everyday life rather than promising a specific delivery method.
