About Shauna
Shauna Holder is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 13 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, parenting strain, grief, trauma and related challenges. Shauna also supports people dealing with ADHD, addictions, intimacy concerns, career stress, and compassion fatigue.
Her style is direct and practical. Sessions focus on clear goals and everyday steps. She uses approaches that help people notice patterns, test new behaviors, and manage strong emotions.
Shauna commonly draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to help reframe unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. She also uses dialectical behavior therapy skills to teach emotional regulation and distress tolerance. Emotionally-focused ideas inform how she looks at relationship and attachment concerns.
In a typical session she listens for what matters most at home and then suggests strategies to practice between meetings. That might include concrete communication skills, planning small behavior changes, or grounding tools for overwhelming feelings. She aims to make each session practical and relevant to day-to-day life.
People come to her when parenting feels overwhelming, when grief or a breakup is raw, or when stress and anxiety interfere with work and relationships. Shauna helps people break issues down into manageable steps and figure out what to try next.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and reflecting so people feel understood and can find their own answers. Online sessions using this approach focus on the client's concerns and priorities, letting conversation guide what to try next.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Online CBT sessions often include setting small practice tasks between meetings and reviewing how those experiments worked in daily life.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills for managing intense emotions and reducing impulsive reactions. When used online, DBT skills training can teach breathing, grounding, and interpersonal techniques that people can use at home during stressful moments.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then try approaches together and adjust over time. The process is collaborative rather than fixed.
