How her approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people identify what matters to them and take small committed steps toward those values while accepting difficult feelings. ACT can be useful for life purpose questions, anxiety, and coping with change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting and testing unhelpful thoughts and practicing different behaviors; it tends to be practical and goal oriented for stress, anxiety, and self-esteem concerns. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on understanding emotional responses in relationships and learning new ways to respond, which can help with intimacy and communication problems.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Shelley works collaboratively to choose methods that match a person’s goals, preferences, and daily demands. She adjusts techniques as sessions progress so the plan stays relevant to what a person needs in the moment.

Many people appreciate online therapy because it can fit into workdays, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Online sessions also make it easier to use worksheets, mindfulness practices, and behavioral homework between meetings. Licensed professionals and therapists commonly adapt exercises so they work well in a virtual setting, focusing on practical tools that can be used in everyday life.
