Dr. Shauna Snipes , TX Psychologist 36664

Dr. Shauna Snipes helps people who are feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or out of balance. She focuses on practical steps to reduce stress, manage mood changes, and improve everyday relationships. Dr. Snipes is a Texas-licensed psychologist with ten years of clinical experience and works with adults across a range of concerns including women's issues, parenting challenges, and trauma-related problems.

She earned a doctoral degree in clinical psychology and has been licensed in Texas since 2014. Her practice grew from working with many different groups, including people with intellectual and developmental disabilities and older adults. Those experiences shaped how she thinks about skills, communication, and daily functioning.

In sessions she emphasizes a client-centered stance. That means she follows each person's pace and priorities rather than forcing a fixed plan. She pulls from methods such as cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing to fit what a person needs in the moment.

Dr. Snipes also brings experience with assessment and evaluation in both general and forensic settings. She uses that background when thorough understanding of a problem will help guide treatment decisions and goals.

Her style aims to be straightforward and nonjudgmental. She encourages people to talk about what matters most to them and to try skills that can be used between sessions. Many clients work on coping with life changes, improving self-esteem, or reducing symptoms of anxiety and depression.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Dr. Snipes commonly uses client-centered care and cognitive behavioral techniques to guide online sessions. Client-centered care focuses on listening, understanding each person's priorities, and moving at the client's pace to set goals that feel doable. Cognitive behavioral techniques break problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offer practical skills clients can practice between sessions to reduce anxiety or improve mood.

She also integrates elements of dialectical behavior therapy when needed, such as teaching emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills. Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process; the therapist and client review concerns, try a few methods, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. This partnership helps tailor sessions to what's most useful for the person's goals and daily life.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people connect face to face for longer work on skills and deeper conversation. Phone sessions can fit a tighter schedule or require less bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging are useful for quick check-ins, homework support, or ongoing skill practice between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and keep momentum between meetings.
