Approaches that guide online work and decision-making
Shanton uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and emotional regulation. One common approach helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and replace them with more balanced ones to reduce anxiety and depressive moods. Another approach emphasizes skills training to manage strong emotions, impulsivity, and crisis moments so daily life becomes easier to navigate.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will ask about goals, current challenges, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together the client and therapist adjust methods over time to fit needs and preferences rather than assuming a single path up front.
