About Shauna
She combines Client-Centered methods with cognitive-behavioral and trauma-focused work to shape a plan that fits each person. Sessions tend to focus on identifying unhelpful thought patterns, building new everyday habits, and finding small steps that lead to change. Shauna aims to reduce stigma and treat people with respect and compassion.
Her background includes individual and family work across a wide range of concerns, including mood disturbances, ADHD, grief, addiction, and survivors of physical or emotional abuse. That practical experience informs how she structures sessions and sets achievable goals with clients.
Shauna uses interactive, solution-focused strategies when appropriate, and adapts the pace to what a person needs. She encourages people to try techniques between sessions and to bring real-life situations to talk through. The focus is on skills that can be used in day-to-day life.
She invites people who are ready to take a first step toward change to begin a conversation. The initial process includes a short questionnaire and scheduling based on availability so a good match can be made.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work
Shauna draws on Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to shape online sessions. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, accepting the person, and shaping the conversation around their goals. It helps when someone needs a supportive space to sort through feelings and choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches concrete skills to shift unhelpful thinking patterns and everyday habits.Finding the right approach is part of the process and happens together. The therapist will talk with the client about needs, goals, and preferences and then try methods that suit those aims. Sessions can be adjusted over time if one approach seems more helpful than another.
Confirm the specific session formats offered before booking, since formats were not listed in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also let people bring real-life situations directly into conversation and practice new habits between meetings.
