About Shauna
Shauna blends practical tools from cognitive behavioral work with trauma-focused methods and solution-focused techniques. Sessions typically look at concrete steps people can take between meetings, while also giving space to process painful experiences. She avoids stigmatizing labels and centers each person’s strengths.
Her background includes individual and family work across concerns such as parenting, career strain, mood disorders, ADHD, grief, addiction, and intimacy problems. She has supported people who experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse and helps them manage symptoms and regain a sense of control. Shauna uses familiar language and focuses on what matters day to day.
In therapy she listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps set clear, reachable goals. Treatment plans are tailored to the person’s needs and revised as progress is made. People can expect an interactive process with practical strategies and compassionate guidance.
If someone is ready to make a change, Shauna offers support aimed at building coping skills and improving everyday functioning. She encourages small steps that add up to real difference over time.
How her approaches translate to online care
Shauna commonly uses cognitive behavioral techniques and trauma-focused work to guide therapy. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors to reduce anxiety, low mood, or problematic patterns. Trauma-focused therapy centers on understanding and processing the effects of traumatic events so symptoms interfere less with daily life.She also draws on client-centered principles to keep sessions collaborative and respectful. That means the therapist listens closely, follows the person's lead, and adapts methods to fit the individual's goals and comfort level. Choosing the right approach is a shared process and may change as needs evolve.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals can help you decide which methods and pacing will work best for your goals.
