Online support
Approach-focused care delivered online
Shawndre blends existential therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy to help clients clarify values and take meaningful action. Existential work involves talking about purpose, choice, and what matters most, which can help during major life changes and grief. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) combines mindfulness and behavior-based steps so people can move toward their goals even with uncomfortable feelings.She also uses attachment-based ideas to improve how people relate and communicate with others. That approach looks at patterns in close relationships and helps people develop more effective ways to connect and set boundaries. Shawndre treats the choice of method as a collaboration and will work with each person to find the best mix based on goals and preferences.
Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video allows face-to-face conversation; phone can be simpler when bandwidth is limited; chat or text can be useful for brief check-ins or ongoing support. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, school, caregiving, or travel while keeping the focus on practical progress.
