About Shauna
Shauna uses straightforward tools to tackle day-to-day thoughts and habits that get in the way. She draws from cognitive behavioral work to identify unhelpful thinking and build new behaviors. Dialectical behavior ideas help people manage big emotions and cope more effectively.
In session she listens first and then helps set clear goals. Conversations include skills practice, behavior changes, and steps you can try between meetings. She aims to make therapy useful for everyday life rather than only talking about problems.
Shauna also integrates client-centered and emotionally-focused ideas when they fit a person’s needs. That means she centers the conversation on your experience and on improving emotional connection where that matters. She supports work on topics like grief, addiction, identity concerns, and coping with life changes.
Her background includes over a decade of counseling experience in Texas. She frames progress as steady work and encourages people to try small changes that add up. If you want clear tools for thoughts and everyday habits, she focuses on practical steps you can use right away.

How Shauna’s Approaches Fit Online Work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and making the conversation about your experience. It helps when someone needs acceptance and a space to clarify feelings and goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete steps to change unhelpful patterns; it often helps with anxiety, depression, and daily habits. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills for managing intense emotions and improving distress tolerance and interpersonal effectiveness.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Shauna will talk with each person about goals and try different methods to see what fits. Together you decide whether skill practice, emotional work, or a mix of approaches will be most useful for your situation.
Confirm current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, cut travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make it simpler to practice skills between meetings and apply changes directly to everyday routines.
