About Shauna

Shauna Holder is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 13 years of clinical experience. She works with people who face stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, ADHD, addiction, relationship and intimacy-related issues, and parenting concerns. Shauna also addresses grief, career stress, compassion fatigue, and mood disorders such as bipolar concerns.

Her approach is straightforward and practical. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients notice unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of responding. She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), Client-Centered Therapy, and existential ideas when they fit the client’s needs.

Sessions focus on concrete skills and problem solving. Shauna helps people break big problems into manageable steps. She supports practice between sessions so new habits can form in daily life.

Shauna frames work around goals a person brings to therapy. She listens for what matters most and then suggests small experiments and skill practice. Progress is tracked in specific, observable ways rather than vague promises.

People who prefer clear structure and tools that can be practiced outside sessions often find this style direct and useful. Shauna works in English and provides services from Texas. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking.

How her approaches translate to online work

Shauna uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test alternative responses. CBT emphasizes short, focused experiments and homework that translate well to online sessions for issues like anxiety, depression, and ADHD. She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy for building emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills; DBT offers concrete exercises useful between sessions.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Shauna will work with the client to decide which methods fit their goals and daily life. Together they review what is working and adjust the plan over time rather than sticking to a single model.

Confirm the therapist's current session formats before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a weekly routine and reduce travel time. Some formats require less bandwidth or make it simpler to check in during a shorter break. Ask about session length and any technical needs when scheduling so appointments fit into everyday life.
