About Shauna
Shauna Holder is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Texas. She focuses on helping people who are anxious, stressed, grieving, struggling with mood concerns, or navigating relationship and parenting challenges. She also works with people managing ADHD, addiction, or career-related stress and other life transitions.
Shauna uses a straightforward, respectful style in sessions. She listens closely and offers practical steps people can try between meetings. Her manner mixes firmness with empathy so clients feel seen and guided toward change.
Background and approach
Her work draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, emotionally-focused methods, client-centered principles, and existential ideas. That means she helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, practice new coping skills, and name the values that matter most to them. Sessions include talking, problem-solving, and skill practice tailored to each person’s goals.
Shauna has 13 years of experience as an LPC in Texas. Over that time she has supported people with depression, bipolar concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy and attachment issues, and a wide range of stressors. She pays attention to practical changes clients can make right away.
The process begins with understanding what matters to the client and setting clear, manageable goals. Shauna aims to help people build skills that fit their daily life and to support steady progress toward the changes they want.
Approach-driven care delivered online
Shauna commonly draws on cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy in online sessions. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) helps people notice patterns of thinking that worsen mood or anxiety and then practice new, more helpful ways of thinking and behaving. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication skills for people who struggle with intense feelings or relationship conflicts.She also uses client-centered principles, which means the work is paced to the person's goals and values. Finding the right approach is a team effort - the therapist and client will talk about goals, try methods, and adjust the plan together so it fits needs and preferences.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let people work face-to-face when that feels useful. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can make scheduling easier. Live chat and text messaging are helpful for brief check-ins, practice between sessions, or when writing out thoughts feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep working on skills between meetings.
