About Shauna

Shauna Holder is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) who helps people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, depression, and other life challenges. She aims to make therapy straightforward and practical so clients can use what they learn right away. Shauna works from Texas and brings 13 years of counseling experience to each session.

Shauna focuses on clear, respectful communication. She uses approaches such as client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, and dialectical behavior tools to help people change unhelpful patterns. Sessions often involve talking through current problems, learning coping skills, and trying small behavior changes between meetings.

Her background includes long-term work with mood disorders, attention concerns, relationship and intimacy issues, grief, parenting stress, and addiction-related problems. She also supports people facing life transitions and the unique stress of coping with natural or human-caused disasters. These topics shape how she plans treatment and sets goals with each person.

Expect a firm but compassionate style. Shauna emphasizes respect and empathy while encouraging practical steps forward. She helps clients identify what matters most and build routines or skills to reach those goals.

Therapy begins with figuring out goals and what the client needs right now. From there she tailors an approach that mixes problem-solving with emotional exploration so people can make steady progress.

Therapeutic approaches for online care

Shauna uses client-centered methods that focus on the person's priorities and experience, creating space to name what matters and set practical goals. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is also a key part of her work and focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing small behavior changes to reduce symptoms and improve routines. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) skills are used to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication when feelings run high.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Shauna will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what methods feel most useful, then adapt techniques over time. The decision about which combination to use is collaborative and can shift as needs change.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online care can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example, sessions can be scheduled during a work break or when travel makes in-person visits difficult. Remote sessions also let people use quieter surroundings or shorter check-ins when that suits them. Licensed professionals tailor pacing and techniques so therapy can be practical and usable in daily life.
