About Shauna
Shauna Holder is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship struggles. She speaks plain, direct language and aims to make conversations feel manageable for someone juggling busy days and big feelings.
She uses straightforward methods to help clients identify unhelpful patterns and try new ways of coping. Sessions mix practical skills and reflection so people can make changes that fit their life. Her style is firm but compassionate, offering clear guidance while listening to each person's goals.
Holder brings 13 years of counseling experience to her work. Over that time she has supported people dealing with trauma and abuse, addiction, ADHD, grief, and self-esteem concerns. She also focuses on adoption and foster care issues and attachment-related difficulties when they come up in clients' lives.
Her clinical approaches include client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), emotionally-focused therapy (EFT), and existential therapy. Those tools are used to help with emotion regulation, communication patterns, and life direction rather than to produce quick fixes.
People who choose Shauna can expect a collaborative process that balances skill-building with honest conversation. She works to set clear goals and practical steps so progress can be tracked between sessions.
How therapeutic approaches shape online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and meeting each person where they are. It helps people feel heard and supports personal insight and growth. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the connections between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills for changing patterns that cause distress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, adds skills for managing strong emotions and improving coping when stress feels overwhelming.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Then she will propose methods and check in regularly to adjust the plan so it matches what the client needs and wants.
The profile does not specify which online session types are offered, so confirm available formats before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy schedule, cut travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when a full session isn’t possible. Licensed professionals can use these options to keep momentum between in-person visits or to maintain regular appointments when life is hectic.
