How Shanton combines approaches for online work
Shanton uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address problems like anger, anxiety, and trauma in straightforward ways. One common approach she draws on focuses on skills training - learning and practicing concrete tools to reduce impulsive reactions, manage stress, and change unhelpful habits. This helps when anger shows up suddenly or when patterns repeat over time.Another approach emphasizes moment-to-moment awareness and behavioral adjustments. That involves noticing triggers, trying new responses in small steps, and reviewing what worked. It is useful for managing panic symptoms, impulsivity, and mood swings by creating simple action plans for real situations.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to choose techniques that match their goals, daily life, and preferences. That means reviewing what helps, adjusting techniques, and focusing on practical outcomes together.
