CBT, Narrative Therapy and Online Care

Dianna M Shaw commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Narrative Therapy in her work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is a practical, skills-based approach that explores the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors; it helps people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop concrete tools to reduce anxiety, manage stress, and improve mood. Narrative Therapy focuses on the stories people tell about their lives, helping clients separate themselves from problems and reframe experiences to uncover strengths, purpose, and possibilities - an approach well suited to life transitions and identity work.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. She works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best fit their goals, preferences, and needs, adjusting techniques over time to support growth and resilience.

Online therapy offers practical benefits that align with her practice style. Video calls and phone sessions allow for real-time conversation and intervention, while live chat and text-based messaging provide flexible ways to stay connected between appointments. These options increase accessibility and make it easier to integrate therapy into a busy life while maintaining continuity of care with licensed professionals and therapists.
