How her approaches shape online care
Shantia draws on client-centered therapy to place the person’s experience at the center of sessions. This means the conversation begins with what matters most to the client, and the therapist reflects and follows the client’s lead to build understanding and trust.She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes. This approach is useful for anxiety, low mood, stress, and many everyday problems where changing a thought or routine can make a difference.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each client to choose strategies that match their goals, preferences, and current needs. That can mean trying different techniques and adjusting the plan as progress is made.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the available session formats before booking so you know what is offered. Online work can make scheduling easier and help therapy fit into a busy life, such as allowing shorter check-ins during a lunch break or reducing travel time. Licensed professionals can still use structured CBT exercises, listening-focused client-centered work, and goal-oriented solution-focused steps in remote sessions, helping people apply skills between meetings.
