How Shelli’s Approaches Work Online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client's lead. The therapist reflects concerns back, helps clarify what matters, and moves at a pace the client sets. This approach can help people feel heard and understood when coping with major life changes or grief.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and actions affect feelings. It breaks problems into smaller, manageable parts and provides practical tools for anxiety, anger, and concentration issues. CBT often includes homework between sessions to practice new skills.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and daily life to decide which methods to emphasize. That collaboration means plans can be adjusted as needs change.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. It can reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Confirm the current session options before booking so you know what formats are available and can choose what fits your schedule.
