Shauna Holder, LPC

Shauna Holder is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who helps people facing worry, relationship strain, grief, addiction concerns, and other painful life problems. She frames sessions around clear goals and steady support. Shauna uses straightforward language and focuses on practical steps people can try between meetings.

She draws on about 13 years of experience working with mood concerns like depression and bipolar symptoms, anxiety, attention deficit issues, and trauma. She also supports people navigating parenting stress, relationship difficulties, intimacy concerns, and the strain that comes from caregiving or major life changes.

Shauna blends Client-Centered Therapy with cognitive-behavioral and dialectical behavior approaches to match each person’s needs. That means sessions often include listening and reflection, problem-solving strategies, and skills to manage strong emotions or impulsive behaviors.

Her style is described as thoughtful and direct while still being warm. Shauna helps people set realistic steps, try new coping tools, and track what is or isn't working. She encourages small, steady changes rather than sudden overhauls.

People who reach out can expect a collaborative process that focuses on current concerns and practical coping. She asks questions to clarify what matters most and works with clients to build plans that fit their daily lives.

How practical therapies translate to online work

Shauna uses Client-Centered Therapy to focus on each person's experience, offering a listening stance that helps people feel heard and understood. This approach supports work on relationship strain, grief, and identity questions by prioritizing what the client finds most important.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behavior experiments. CBT helps with anxiety, depression, attention-related challenges, and coping with life changes through clear exercises and homework between sessions.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) supplies emotion regulation and distress-tolerance skills for people who struggle with intense feelings or impulsive actions. These practical tools can reduce crisis-driven reactions and improve communication patterns.

Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try different techniques, and adjust the plan over time so the work fits the client's needs and preferences.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since formats are not specified in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit meetings into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, and reduce travel time.
