About Shauna
Her background includes supporting people after physical trauma and emotional abuse, as well as addressing parenting challenges, career setbacks, mood disturbances, and attention-related concerns. She combines approaches so sessions focus on what matters most to each person. Sessions are collaborative and tailored rather than one-size-fits-all.
Shauna uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help identify unhelpful thinking and develop coping strategies. She also draws on trauma-focused approaches when past events are getting in the way of current life. Solution-focused work keeps sessions grounded in concrete goals and small, measurable changes.
People can expect an honest and interactive style. Shauna avoids stigmatizing labels and works to support each person’s dignity and strengths. She aims to help people develop clearer communication, better emotional regulation, and more satisfying relationships.
As a North Carolina LCSW Shauna brings ten years of clinical practice to her work. She encourages anyone considering therapy to take the first step when they feel ready and offers steady support through the process.
How therapeutic approaches shape online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s own goals and strengths, with the therapist listening closely and shaping sessions around what the person says matters most. This approach helps when someone wants a supportive space to sort priorities and values.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behavior. It includes practical exercises and coping skills to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change unhelpful patterns. This can be useful for stress, anxiety, depression, and attention-related concerns.
Trauma-Focused Therapy addresses how past hurt or abuse affects current life. Work is paced to help people feel more in control of memories and reactions and to rebuild safety in daily routines.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Sessions can shift over time as priorities change and progress is made.
Confirm session formats before booking to know what options are available. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, allow quicker check-ins during a lunch break, and let people meet a licensed professional from a different location. Talk with the therapist about scheduling, session length, and any practical needs so appointments fit into everyday life.
