How CBT and related approaches are used in online sessions
Shenelle uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify thinking patterns that increase distress and to test new behaviors over time. CBT sessions typically include tracking thoughts, practicing small behavior changes, and reviewing what worked between meetings.She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes listening and reflecting so the person can clarify goals and priorities. Motivational Interviewing is used when someone feels stuck about change - it focuses on exploring values and building motivation step by step.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. Shenelle will collaborate with each person to select approaches that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She encourages trying different techniques and adjusting them based on what helps most.
The practical benefit of online work is fitting sessions into everyday life. Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered.
