Online support
How attachment work and practical therapy translate online
Shantelle uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early bonds affect current relationships and emotional reactions; this helps with trust issues, abandonment worries, and patterns that keep repeating. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy to follow the client's pace, offering empathy and reflection so people feel heard and understood. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, when used, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety and improve mood.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try methods that fit the person's needs, and adjust the plan as progress unfolds. Clients help decide what feels most useful and what to focus on from session to session.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people work face to face when they prefer visual connection. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone wants to avoid being on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging provide short check-ins or ongoing written support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare, or other commitments while keeping the work consistent and focused.
