How her approaches work and what online sessions involve
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what the client says. It helps people clarify values, choices, and goals by keeping the conversation on their priorities.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It commonly involves identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety or low mood.
EMDR is listed among her approaches and is used for some trauma-related issues. It combines focused recall with bilateral stimulation to help process distressing memories when it fits the person’s needs.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Shaneka will discuss options and decide together which methods match a client's needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative process helps set clear, practical goals for sessions.
The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into study, work, and daily routines. They can also allow shorter check-ins, reduce travel time, and make timing around classes or shifts simpler. Licensed professionals can adapt methods like CBT and EMDR to work in remote sessions when appropriate.
