How Shanequa applies therapy methods online
Shanequa uses Client-Centered Therapy to keep the focus on each client's concerns and priorities. This approach means conversations are led by what the person wants to address, and the therapist reflects back what she hears to help clarify goals.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is used to identify unhelpful thought patterns and test small behavior changes. CBT is practical for issues like anxiety, anger reactions, and low mood because it connects thoughts, feelings, and actions in simple steps.
Motivational Interviewing helps people build motivation and follow through on changes. It is useful when someone wants support moving from thinking about change to actually trying new behaviors and sticking with them.
Choosing the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Shanequa will collaborate with clients to figure out what methods fit their goals and preferences. That may mean focusing on skill practice, trying short behavioral experiments between sessions, or using conversational techniques to increase motivation.
