Evidence-Informed Therapy, Made More Accessible Online

Shakirah Ewell, LPC, integrates practical, skills-based approaches that translate well to online sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and patterns and replacing them with more balanced perspectives and actionable coping strategies, which can be especially useful for stress, anxiety, and depression.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) brings structured tools for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. It can support clients who want clearer ways to manage intense emotions, strengthen boundaries, and respond more intentionally in relationships. She may also incorporate behavioral activation, which emphasizes small, realistic steps that help clients re-engage with meaningful routines and activities when motivation is low.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Shakirah Ewell collaborates with clients to understand what is bringing them in, what they want to change, and what style of support feels most helpful, then adjusts the plan as needs evolve.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. This range of options can make it easier to stay consistent with therapy while balancing work, family responsibilities, and life transitions.
