Shawnette draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions and tailor strategies to each person’s situation.

Approaches for family and parenting work online

Shawnette draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that translate well to remote sessions. One approach focuses on skills training - teaching practical tools for managing stress, improving communication, and handling parenting moments in real time. This helps caregivers practice new responses and develop clearer routines.

Another key approach is strength-based problem solving, which identifies what already works in a family and builds from there. Sessions break concerns into small steps and set concrete goals so progress is visible and manageable for busy parents.

Finding the right method is a collaborative process. Shawnette works with each person to decide which approaches fit their goals, needs, and daily life. Together they try strategies, adjust what isn’t working, and pick techniques that feel realistic for the family.

Online therapy offers flexibility for people balancing parenting and work. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when details matter, while phone sessions suit brief check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging provide ongoing support between sessions and let parents share updates or ask quick questions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around a family’s schedule.
