How Shea Uses Skills-Based Approaches Online

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, helps people learn concrete skills for managing intense emotions and handling conflict. It focuses on things like distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and improving how you relate to others. Mindfulness Therapy centers on paying attention to the present moment without judgment and can reduce reactivity and stress. Motivational Interviewing is a conversational style that helps people find their own reasons to change and build commitment to new behaviors.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work together. Shea approaches therapy as a collaboration and will help figure out which methods fit a person's goals and preferences. That choice can shift over time as needs change.

Confirm the session formats Shea currently offers before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, and reduce travel time. It also lets people practice new skills in the context of daily life and bring real situations into the conversation for immediate problem solving.
