About Shauna
Dr. Shauna Snipes greets people with a calm, nonjudgmental approach. She helps adults who are stressed, anxious, grieving, or facing big life changes.

Snipes has about 10 years of experience working across many settings. Her background includes work with adults and older-adult populations and experience with testing and evaluation in both general and forensic contexts.
Background and approach
A significant part of her work has involved people with intellectual or developmental disabilities. That time sharpened her focus on practical skills, communication, and social functioning. She uses that practical outlook when helping others manage daily challenges.
Her general style blends different approaches but stays client-centered. She listens to each person’s needs and moves at a pace that feels comfortable. Sessions focus on real problems and concrete steps rather than abstract theory.
Expect straightforward conversation and hands-on strategies. Dr. Snipes draws from cognitive behavioral tools, mindfulness, dialectical behavior ideas, and motivational interviewing as useful fits for various problems.
She aims to help people build coping skills, improve relationships, and regain stability. If you want to begin, she asks clients to share what matters most to them. Together you set goals and practical steps to work toward better day-to-day functioning.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Dr. Snipes frequently uses cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness-based strategies in online work. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them against real-life evidence to change behavior and reduce anxiety or panic. Mindfulness therapy involves simple attention and breathing practices to lower stress and help a person respond rather than react.Finding the right approach is a shared process. She will ask about your goals, how symptoms affect daily life, and what styles feel most useful. From there she tailors tools and checks in regularly so adjustments can be made together as therapy proceeds.
Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video is useful for deeper work and learning new skills with visual cues. Phone sessions can be a simpler check-in when bandwidth or camera use is difficult. Live chat and messaging are helpful for brief notes, homework, or ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, or travel.
