Online support
Approaches that shape online sessions
Shawn commonly blends the Gottman Method with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and attachment-informed work. The Gottman Method focuses on improving communication, reducing conflict, and strengthening connection through clear, practical skills useful for relationship concerns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people identify values and take committed action even when strong emotions or anxiety are present. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds influence current patterns and can guide work on trust, closeness, and emotional safety.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Shawn works collaboratively to decide what fits your goals and style. He listens to your concerns, tests techniques, and adjusts the plan based on what helps you make steady progress.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and skill practice. Phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited or you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging make brief check-ins or coaching-style support easier between longer sessions. These options help people fit therapy into work, family, and travel schedules while maintaining continuity of care.
