Practical online therapy with evidence-based tools
Janie Shankle draws from approaches that help clients feel understood while also building concrete skills for day-to-day life. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, respect, and collaboration, creating space to explore grief, trauma, stress, or major life changes at a pace that feels manageable.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing patterns in thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and practicing new ways of responding. It can be especially useful when anxiety, depression, self-esteem concerns, or ongoing stress start to shape daily routines and relationships. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds practical skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and communication, which can be helpful when feelings become intense or hard to manage.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Janie works collaboratively with clients to understand what they want from therapy, what has or has not helped before, and what feels realistic right now, then tailors the work to match those goals and preferences.
Online therapy can make support easier to access through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. The flexibility can help clients stay consistent, fit sessions into busy schedules, and get support in the format that feels most comfortable.
