How Shea's approaches translate to online work
Dialectical Behavior Therapy teaches concrete skills for handling intense emotions and improving relationships. It offers step-by-step tools for distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and clearer communication, which can be practiced between sessions.Mindfulness Therapy focuses on present-moment awareness and learning to notice thoughts and feelings without judgment. This can help reduce rumination and improve focus when managing anxiety, stress, or grief.
Motivational Interviewing is a conversational style that helps people clarify their own reasons for change. It’s useful when someone feels stuck or ambivalent about making shifts in behavior related to addiction, lifestyle, or caregiving choices.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with clients about goals, preferences, and how each method might fit. That collaboration helps shape a plan that feels practical and doable.
Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy schedule, reducing travel time, and making it easier to keep regular appointments.
