She brings calm, steady support and practical tools to conversations. Shauna listens closely and helps clients name what matters most to them before setting simple goals.

With 13 years of experience, she draws on approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and client-centered work.

Shauna tailors each plan so it fits daily routines and real pressures.

She also works with people dealing with trauma and abuse, grief, addictions, ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, intimacy issues, and compassion fatigue. Additional topics she addresses include body image, attachment concerns, blended family stress, and coping with major life changes. Her style blends direct feedback with empathy so clients can try new strategies between appointments.

Shauna aims to help clients build clearer boundaries, steadier mood regulation, and better decision-making. She uses short-term skill building alongside deeper conversations about meaning and values when helpful. Her overall goal is to help people manage today’s problems while moving toward longer-term changes.

People who prefer straightforward guidance with warmth tend to find her approach useful. Sessions are offered in English and delivered online through a variety of formats to match each client’s needs.

How therapy approaches translate to online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the client, helping people feel heard and decide their own next steps; this approach is useful for building clarity around values and choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches concrete tools to spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which helps with anxiety, depression, and day-to-day stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills, which can aid people who struggle with intense emotions or relationship conflicts.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to match methods to current goals, preferences, and the pace the person wants. That means trying techniques in session, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan over time.

Online sessions are offered by licensed professionals through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat and messaging make brief check-ins or ongoing support possible, and text-based messaging can fit into busy schedules. These options give flexibility for people balancing work, family, or other commitments.
