Evidence-based techniques and online care

Shontay uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage emotions and make practical changes. One common approach she uses focuses on strengthening coping skills and building self-esteem through step-by-step activities and goal setting. This approach helps with low motivation, self-doubt, and moving forward after life changes.

Another key element is working through relationship and attachment concerns by identifying patterns and practicing clearer communication. This helps people who struggle with abandonment, communication problems, or the aftermath of separation to create healthier interactions and boundaries.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your goals and preferences, try techniques that fit your situation, and adjust the plan as you progress. Clients and therapist work together to find what feels most helpful for the person in front of them.

The biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm available session types before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and offer more flexible scheduling. It can also allow for shorter check-ins when needed or sessions without video if that suits you better.
