Background and approach

Sessions aim to support problem solving, increase emotional awareness, and strengthen skills that can be used at home. His background includes work with trauma and abuse, mood and anxiety issues, and life changes that affect daily functioning. He also addresses attention concerns such as ADHD, grief, and career or productivity struggles.

These areas inform the practical strategies he introduces in sessions. Shiloe uses several therapeutic approaches, including client-centered methods that prioritize each person's goals, cognitive behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thoughts and habits, and dialectical behavior tools for managing strong emotions. He combines these with narrative and existential ideas when helpful to reframe personal stories and clarify values.

To begin, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules sessions through the site's process. Sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging so parents can choose what fits their routine.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions

Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's own goals and experiences. The therapist listens closely, reflects concerns, and helps prioritize what matters most. This approach supports people who need a compassionate, direction-setting space.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact. It uses short, practical exercises to change patterns that increase stress, anxiety, or low mood. CBT is useful for parenting stress, anxiety, and everyday coping skills.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches tools for managing intense emotions and improving communication. It offers skills for distress tolerance, emotional regulation, and clearer interactions, which can be helpful when life gets overwhelming.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to pick methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. Plans can shift as progress is made and new priorities emerge.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy family schedules and to keep continuity when travel or work gets in the way. The variety of formats lets people choose what feels most practical and comfortable for regular support.

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.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
