About Shauna
Shauna Holder is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 13 years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, anger, relationship strain, parenting pressures, trauma and related concerns. Sessions focus on clear goals and practical steps rather than vague platitudes.
She uses straightforward talk therapy to help people name what’s happening and try new ways of responding. That can mean looking at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going, learning skills to handle intense emotions, or practicing different ways to communicate. Shauna draws from cognitive-behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior strategies, emotionally-focused ideas, client-centered principles, and existential perspectives when they fit the client’s needs.
In session she balances direct feedback with listening. People can expect calm, goal-oriented work that checks whether tools actually help day to day. Shauna also attends to longer-standing patterns like attachment wounds, abandonment, and grief, alongside immediate problems such as workplace anger or parenting stress.
Her practice addresses a wide range of concerns including ADHD, addictions, bipolar mood challenges, intimacy and self-esteem issues, and compassion fatigue. She has experience with adoption and foster care topics, blended family adjustments, dissociation, and coping with disaster-related stress.
Sessions are conducted in English and follow Texas LPC standards. Prospective clients are invited to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session to see if her approach fits their goals.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Shauna commonly uses cognitive-behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy in session. CBT involves identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to change how problems feel day to day; it is often useful for anxiety, anger, and mood symptoms. DBT focuses on building practical skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication, which can help when strong feelings or relationship conflicts are frequent.She also draws on client-centered and emotionally-focused ideas that emphasize listening, reflecting feelings, and improving how people connect with others. Finding the right mix of methods is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to decide which approaches match their goals and adjust them as progress is tracked.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current online session options before booking. Many people choose remote sessions to fit therapy into work breaks, reduce travel time, or use shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Online work can make practicing CBT homework, DBT skills coaching, and emotion-focused exercises easier to schedule around everyday life.
