Practical Therapy Tools, Built for Online Support

Shakirah Ewell, LPC, draws from structured, skills-based approaches that translate well to online therapy. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing unhelpful thought patterns and practicing more balanced ways of responding, which can be especially useful when stress, anxiety, or low mood start to affect daily life. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds concrete tools for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and communication, helping clients build steadier coping in the middle of intense moments.

She also incorporates a client-centered style that keeps therapy grounded in what matters most to the client. Rather than forcing a one-size-fits-all method, the work can be collaborative and paced to fit the client’s goals, preferences, and current challenges. Over time, the therapist and client can refine what is most helpful and focus on strategies that feel realistic to use between sessions.

Online therapy can make support easier to fit into a busy schedule. Sessions may be held through video calls or phone sessions, and clients can also use live chat or text-based messaging. This flexibility can be a helpful option for women balancing work, family responsibilities, or major life transitions.
