Background and approach
Sessions tend to emphasize skills you can use between meetings and clearer ways to understand difficult feelings. Much of her background includes work with adolescents, and she also sees adults facing varied mental health challenges. She has experience supporting people with complex diagnoses and with concerns such as self-harm, suicidal thoughts, and addiction-related issues.
Shauna also helps parents who want better ways to communicate and to understand behavior. Her style is nonjudgmental and accepting. She welcomes people regardless of belief, gender, or sexual orientation and focuses on helping them build resilience and emotional balance.
The work aims to leave clients with tools that fit day-to-day life. People thinking about therapy with Shauna should be aware she lists strengths in areas like anxiety, stress, trauma, parenting, and self-esteem. Those who want to start can follow the site's matching and scheduling steps to connect and arrange a first session.
How her approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client's lead. It helps people feel heard and understood while they clarify goals and values.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches practical strategies for managing anxiety, depression, and stress through step-by-step exercises.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, is used to reduce the emotional charge of traumatic memories. It can be helpful for people coping with past trauma and intrusive memories.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and comfort level. That plan can change as progress is made and new priorities emerge.
Online therapy can make regular sessions easier to schedule around school, work, or family time. It can reduce travel time and help keep therapy consistent during busy weeks. Confirm the current session options before booking to know what formats are available, and discuss how sessions will fit into daily life during the first meeting.
