How Shaneque Uses Therapy Online

Shaneque draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy to help people handle everyday problems. CBT looks at how thoughts and actions affect feelings and teaches practical steps to change unhelpful patterns. Mindfulness Therapy brings attention to the present moment and teaches simple breathing and awareness skills that can reduce anxiety and improve sleep.

She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which centers the client’s own goals and perspective. In this approach she listens without judgment and follows the client’s lead. Together they decide which approaches to prioritize, and adjustments are made as needs and goals become clearer.

Online sessions offer options like video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These formats make scheduling easier and let people use the type of contact that fits their life. The therapist will work with each person to find the best mix of tools and session types so progress can continue between meetings.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Mindfulness Therapy

Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
