BHow sessions work
How Shawn uses CBT online and what to expect
Shawn uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and to practice new behaviors. CBT sessions tend to be structured and goal-oriented, with specific exercises and homework to try between meetings. This approach can help with anxiety, panic symptoms, mood changes, relationship patterns, and workplace stress. Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. He will talk with each client about their goals and daily routine and then recommend methods that fit those needs. Together they review what is or is not working and adjust the plan accordingly. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into workdays, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. They also allow continued work on skills between in-person visits when that is helpful. Shawn aims to help clients find a schedule and format that fits usual responsibilities and commitments.CAreas of focus
