About Shauna
Shauna Stimmel is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Idaho with eight years of clinical experience. She holds a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and a bachelor's in criminal psychology. Shauna works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, self-esteem issues, depression, and family-related challenges.
She brings practical methods to sessions and focuses on helping people build resilience and clearer self-understanding. Shauna uses structured approaches to notice unhelpful thoughts and habits and to try different responses. Sessions aim to give concrete tools people can use between meetings.
Her background includes crisis-care experience and work with adolescents and adults. That experience informs how she manages safety, pacing, and complex presentations in therapy. She also helps parents strengthen communication and navigate conflict related to parenting.
Shauna draws on several therapeutic approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address thinking patterns, Dialectical Behavior Therapy for emotional regulation skills, and EMDR for processing traumatic memories. She combines these methods with a client-centered stance so the work stays focused on each person’s goals.
People who meet with her can expect practical steps, short-term skill building, and collaborative planning. The therapist helps clients identify patterns, practice new responses, and track progress over time. Those interested in sessions should confirm current session options before booking.
How her approaches translate to online work
Shauna uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thinking and test new behaviors. CBT focuses on clear exercises and short homework tasks that fit well into remote sessions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy offers concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. DBT skills are taught step-by-step and practiced in session and between meetings. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing helps people process traumatic memories using guided procedures; when appropriate this can be adapted to remote delivery with careful pacing.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels manageable. Together they choose which methods to try first and track what helps most over time.
The practical benefits of online sessions include easier scheduling and fitting therapy into a busy week. Confirm the current session formats before booking so you know which options are offered. Online work can make it simpler to use short, focused check-ins or longer skill-teaching sessions that fit around school, work, or caregiving responsibilities.
