Practical Online Support Using Evidence-Based Approaches

Shannon Gutwein, LCSW, draws from several evidence-based approaches that translate well to online care. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a supportive, non-judgmental relationship where clients set the pace and focus, which can be especially helpful when someone is feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure where to begin.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps clients notice how thoughts, emotions, and behaviors influence one another. It often includes learning concrete coping skills and experimenting with new ways of responding to stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship challenges. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds structured skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and communication, which can be useful during intense emotions, conflict, or difficult life transitions.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Shannon works collaboratively with clients to understand their goals, preferences, and current stressors, then adjusts the pace and tools to fit what is most helpful in the moment.

Online therapy also offers flexibility and access. Sessions can happen through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to stay consistent with support even with a busy schedule, limited time, or changing needs.
