About Shanta
She works in a respectful, sensitive, and compassionate way. Dr. Jerideau tailors conversations and treatment plans to each person's situation. She emphasizes practical steps that people can use between sessions.
Her background includes work with grief, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, parenting concerns, and LGBT-related topics. She brings several evidence-informed approaches into sessions, choosing methods that fit the person and their goals.
In sessions she listens for patterns that cause pain and looks for small, concrete changes people can try. She supports clients through life transitions and helps them build skills to cope with setbacks.
Clients can expect a collaborative style where goals are clear and progress is revisited. Taking a first step can feel hard, and she aims to make that step more manageable while honoring each person's pace and preferences.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to you and taking small, values-driven steps even when feelings are hard. It can help with anxiety, low motivation, and getting unstuck. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationship patterns affect closeness, trust, and communication, which can be useful for relationship and intimacy concerns.Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will work together with each person to choose which methods to try based on their goals, experiences, and preferences. That may mean mixing techniques from different approaches as needs change over time.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten commute time, and allow for check-ins during breaks. They also let people engage from wherever they are, which can help maintain continuity through life changes. A collaborative conversation at the first meeting will clarify format, scheduling, and practical details so sessions fit into everyday life.
