Approach choices and what online sessions look like
Shaven uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address trauma and mood concerns. For trauma-related work, she applies methods that focus on processing stressful memories and reducing reactions to triggers. That can help people with post-traumatic stress symptoms and related anxiety.For depression and anxiety, she relies on structured strategies that identify unhelpful thinking and encourage activity changes. These approaches teach practical skills for managing low mood, worry, and anger in daily life.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which techniques match their needs, goals, and preferences. That process may include trying different strategies and tracking what helps over several sessions.
Session format details should be confirmed before booking, since the biography does not list specific formats. Ask about available options when you complete the matching questionnaire. In general, remote sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They can also accommodate people who prefer not to be on camera or who need a quieter setting for conversation.
