How Shaun blends approaches for online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the person's lead. The therapist reflects concerns back and helps people name what matters most, which supports clearer goals and stronger motivation.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and actions affect mood. It uses practical exercises and small behavior changes to reduce anxiety, build confidence, and tackle workplace or relationship problems.
Mindfulness Therapy brings attention to the present moment and simple breath or awareness practices. This approach can help with stress, low mood, and staying steady during life changes.
Finding the right approach is a team effort. Shaun will work with each person to pick and try methods that match their goals and preferences. Plans are adjusted based on how things are progressing so the work stays useful and realistic.
