How evidence-based methods translate to online work

Shequitta uses several well-established, practical techniques in her work. Dialectical Behavior Therapy teaches skills for managing intense emotions and reducing impulsive reactions, which can help people who struggle with anger and stress. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at thoughts and behaviors to identify patterns to change, useful for anxiety, depression, and self-esteem concerns. Motivational Interviewing is a conversational method that helps people find their own reasons to make changes, often helpful with addictions and shifting habits.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with a person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they decide which techniques to try and adjust them over time based on progress and comfort.

Confirm current session formats before booking so you know how sessions will be delivered. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by reducing travel time or allowing shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also make attending more consistent when juggling work, childcare, or other responsibilities. Discuss practical needs during the intake so sessions are scheduled to match everyday routines and therapeutic goals.
