One of her core approaches is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts affect feelings and behavior and teaches simple tools to shift unhelpful patterns. She also uses supportive therapy to help people cope with emotional distress and loss. Motivational interviewing is part of her style when people are unsure about change, so conversations move at a comfortable pace. In sessions she focuses on practical skills people can use between meetings. That might include short experiments, thought records, or small behavior changes aimed at reducing stress and improving mood. She describes therapy as a collaborative process where goals are set together. Shawntia works with concerns such as grief, addiction, compassion fatigue, parenting strain, bipolar mood challenges, ADHD, career transitions, anger, and coping with life changes. She encourages taking the first step and helps people develop tools to make steady progress.

Evidence-based techniques for online support and change

Shawntia commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior changes to reduce anxiety and improve mood. She also uses motivational interviewing, a conversational style that helps people clarify what matters to them and build readiness for change in manageable steps. Choosing the best approach is a team effort. She works with each person to decide which techniques fit their needs, goals, and pace. That means trying methods, adjusting as progress is made, and focusing on the practical steps that help most. Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not listed in the biography. Online therapy can make scheduling easier and let sessions fit into daily life. It often helps people keep regular appointments around work and family, reduce travel time, and try short check-ins when that is helpful. Licensed professionals can use these sessions to teach skills, review practice exercises, and track progress between meetings.
