About Shauna
Shauna Holder is a licensed professional counselor who helps people handle intense emotions and practical life problems. She works with individuals facing stress, anxiety, depression, addiction struggles, anger, and relationship concerns. Shauna speaks plainly and meets people where they are.
She uses straightforward, goal-focused methods to help people reduce distress and build new skills. Sessions often include looking at thought patterns, practicing coping skills, and learning ways to regulate strong emotions.
Background and approach
Shauna blends client-centered listening with structured techniques so sessions feel clear and useful. Over 13 years in practice in Texas, she has supported people dealing with trauma, grief, parenting strain, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. Her background includes a range of emotional and behavioral concerns such as abandonment, attachment issues, body image, and coping after divorce or separation.
In sessions she aims to be firm yet compassionate. Shauna helps people set realistic goals, try small changes between meetings, and track what works. She explains therapy steps in everyday language and adjusts pacing to fit each person.
People who prefer practical tools and honest conversation may feel comfortable working with her. She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make ongoing support manageable. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is used to pair people with a therapist and schedule sessions.

Approaches that translate well to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person's concerns, helping them feel heard and supported while they find their own solutions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at unhelpful thoughts and patterns and teaches step-by-step strategies to change behaviors and reduce symptoms. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and practical skills for managing intense feelings like anger or anxiety.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust plans as progress is tracked. This collaborative process helps match tools to what actually helps in day-to-day life.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video is useful for in-depth conversation and skill practice, phone works well when bandwidth is low, live chat allows quick check-ins, and text messaging can support short problem-solving or reminders. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and keep momentum between meetings.
