Online Therapy for Overthinking and Relationship Stress
Trust your decisions, communicate what you need, and feel more confident in your relationships.
You may replay conversations, worry about disappointing people, or feel responsible for how everyone else feels. Over time, it can become difficult to separate what you want from what other people expect.
I’m Shawna Tiles, a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) providing online therapy for adults and young adults across Ontario. I help clients understand these patterns, communicate more clearly, and build greater trust in themselves.
Meet Shawna, ask questions, and see whether working together feels like a good fit. There is no obligation to continue.
Does This Sound Familiar?
You replay conversations and wonder whether you said the wrong thing.
You soften or hide what you need because you do not want to disappoint anyone.
You feel responsible for other people’s moods and reactions.
You look for reassurance, then continue doubting yourself.
You avoid difficult conversations until frustration or distance builds.
You struggle to know what you want when someone else has strong expectations.
These patterns can make relationships feel exhausting and leave you uncertain about yourself.
Therapy can help you understand what drives them and respond with greater clarity and confidence.
Meet Shawna
Shawna is a Marriage and Family Therapist and a Qualifying Registered Psychotherapist with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario, offering online therapy across Ontario.
Her work focuses on overthinking, relationship stress, and the internal patterns that lead to self-doubt, people-pleasing, and disconnection from your own needs.
She works especially well with people who are starting to notice that the way they’ve been coping is no longer working, especially their relationships.
What Therapy With Shawna Is Like
You will have space to talk through what is happening without feeling judged or pressured to reach a particular answer. Shawna helps you identify the patterns beneath the overthinking, understand what you feel and need, and communicate more directly.
Sessions are collaborative and practical. You may work on recognizing emotional triggers, tolerating uncertainty, setting boundaries, approaching difficult conversations, and making decisions without repeatedly seeking reassurance.
Shawna draws from attachment-based therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and values-based therapy according to your needs and goals.
What Can Change Through Therapy
As therapy progresses, you may begin to:
Make decisions with less checking and second-guessing
Communicate what you need earlier and more directly
Stay engaged during disagreement instead of avoiding it
Recognize when you are taking responsibility for someone else’s emotions
Set boundaries with less guilt and overexplaining
Feel more confident and secure in your relationships

Why This Work Matters to Shawna
Shawna’s interest in this work is informed by her experience of complex family dynamics, frequent transitions, and taking on relationship responsibilities early in life.
She understands how being highly aware of other people’s needs can gradually lead to self-doubt, overthinking, and difficulty expressing your own needs. This perspective shapes an approach that is attentive to identity, attachment, family patterns, and the expectations people carry into their relationships.
