She focuses on practical, face-to-face conversation that helps people sort through stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, and coping with life changes. Shauna aims to make therapy straightforward and respectful from the first visit.

She uses a blend of approaches that include cognitive behavioral methods, trauma-focused work, and solution-focused tools.

Shauna has supported people through parenting challenges, career transitions, mood disturbances, ADHD, and the effects of physical or emotional trauma. She also addresses issues like addiction, intimacy, self-esteem, and compassion fatigue. Her background includes working with a wide range of life stressors so she can draw on varied techniques when needed.

How these therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s goals and experience, focusing on listening, empathy, and helping people find their own solutions; it is useful for improving self-esteem, relationships, and general life adjustments.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and helps people test and change unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related issues.

Trauma-Focused Therapy targets reactions to past harm by helping people process difficult memories and build coping skills; it can help people who have experienced emotional or physical trauma.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with clients to identify goals, try methods that match those goals, and adjust the plan as needed based on what feels effective and practical.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the specific session formats offered before booking. Many people appreciate online sessions because they can fit appointments into busy days, avoid travel time, and use shorter check-ins when schedule demands change. Depending on the options available, online work can make it easier to keep momentum between sessions and apply new skills in real life without rearranging an entire day.
