Approaches that guide online care

Shena uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage addiction-related concerns and the stressors that come with them. One common approach focuses on building practical coping skills for stress and cravings, teaching strategies to notice triggers and choose a different response. Another often-used method helps people process trauma and abuse by creating steady, step-by-step ways to talk about difficult memories while developing emotional regulation tools.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. She will discuss options, listen to your goals, and recommend a direction that fits your needs and preferences. This collaborative process lets you try methods that feel useful and change course when needed.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the therapist's current session options before booking since formats are not listed in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules demand it. It also lets people practice skills in the real-world contexts where they need them, so progress transfers into daily routines.
