How CBT and Solution-Focused Work Online

Shonda commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy in sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice how thoughts affect feelings and actions, and then test new ways of thinking and behaving to reduce symptoms like anxiety or anger. Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes concrete, short-term goals and practical steps to move toward the changes someone wants to see.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Shonda collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they track what’s helping and adjust the plan over time so sessions stay focused and useful.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats before booking since specific formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow brief check-ins between in-person visits, or reduce travel time. They can also let people practice new skills in real-life settings and bring communication challenges into the work in a timely way. Licensed professionals will help tailor sessions so they fit daily life and treatment goals.
