Therapy Tools That Fit Your Life Online

Shannon Gutwein, LCSW, draws from practical, evidence-based approaches that translate well to online therapy and can support concerns like stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and difficult life transitions.

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a steady, non-judgmental space where clients can talk openly, clarify what matters most, and feel supported while making changes at their own pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps clients notice how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact, then practice new ways of responding to patterns that may be contributing to low mood, worry, or communication challenges. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skill-building for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be especially helpful during periods of intense stress or emotional upheaval.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Shannon collaborates with each client to understand goals, preferences, and what has or has not worked before, then adapts the work to fit the client’s needs over time.

Online therapy makes it easier to get consistent support using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options can add flexibility for busy schedules, reduce barriers to access, and allow clients to choose the format that feels most comfortable week to week.
