Evidence-based approaches for online care

Shay uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide her online work. One common approach focuses on teaching practical coping skills for stress and anxiety, such as breathing, grounding, and step-by-step behavior changes to reduce overwhelm. These methods help people regain a sense of control and lower daily distress.

A second approach emphasizes examining relationship patterns and communication habits. This involves identifying recurring interactions, practicing new ways to speak and listen, and trying small experiments to change how people relate to each other. It is useful for relationship and family concerns where patterns repeat.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. Shay will talk with each person about their goals, try methods that match those goals, and adjust the plan as needed. She encourages feedback so techniques are helpful and realistic for the client’s life.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is good for longer sessions when visual cues matter. Phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text messaging can work well for brief check-ins, quick skill practice, or fitting therapy into a busy day. These options make it easier to get consistent care around work and family schedules.
