About Shauna
Shauna Holder is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas with 13 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, ADHD, addictions, relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, parenting strain, and other life changes. Shauna also lists blended family issues among her focus areas.
Shauna keeps sessions straightforward and practical. She listens for what feels most pressing and helps people set concrete goals. Techniques come from cognitive behavioral methods, dialectical behavior approaches, emotionally focused ideas, client-centered work, and existential perspectives. That mix is used to address thoughts, behaviors, and how feelings show up in relationships.
In a typical meeting she helps identify patterns that get in the way, then practices new responses together. Homework and short skills practice are common when they help reach goals. Sessions can cover communication, coping skills, managing mood swings, problem solving, or handling loyalty conflicts in blended households.
Shauna’s background includes over a decade of counseling adults across a range of concerns such as bipolar disorder, addiction, attachment issues, and caregiver stress. She frames work around present difficulties and practical steps forward rather than labels.
People who choose Shauna usually want clear tools and steady guidance for everyday problems. The focus is on what can be changed now and how to make small shifts that add up to better daily functioning.
How her approaches work in online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on the client's perspective and supports them in identifying what matters most. It emphasizes listening, reflection, and collaborative goal-setting to help with relationship strain and decision-making.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It breaks down unhelpful patterns and builds practical skills for anxiety, depression, and everyday stressors common in blended households.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) supplies concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. These techniques can help with strong reactions, anger, and relationship tension.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences and recommend which methods to try first. This is a collaborative choice and can change as therapy progresses.
