How his approaches translate to online care

Shawntrell draws on several evidence-based techniques to guide online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can reduce anxiety and improve day-to-day functioning. Dialectical Behavior Therapy provides concrete skills for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and strengthening interpersonal effectiveness. Motivational Interviewing helps people explore their own goals and build internal motivation for change.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Sessions may blend skills practice, problem-solving, and short-term goal setting so people leave with clear next steps.

Confirm current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for more frequent check-ins during early recovery. It also supports concise follow-ups focused on skill practice or brief recovery coaching between in-person visits when that is useful.
