About Shauna
Shauna Holder is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 13 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma and abuse, relationship concerns, grief, addictions, and career strain. Shauna also focuses on intimacy-related issues, parenting stress, and compassion fatigue.
Her sessions center on clear, practical work. She uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) alongside client-centered, cognitive behavioral (CBT), dialectical behavior (DBT), and existential approaches. Shauna aims to help people name strong emotions, recognize patterns, and practice different ways of responding.
In a typical session she listens, reflects, and helps clients identify steps they can try between meetings. She often addresses communication problems, attachment issues, and boundaries that affect daily life. Therapy can include skill practice for emotion regulation and changing unhelpful thinking.
Shauna has supported people through major life changes, grief, and recovery from abuse. Her background includes work with ADHD, bipolar disorder, dissociation, and disruptive mood difficulties. She also helps with adoption and foster care concerns, blended family adjustment, and caregiver stress.
Sessions are conducted in English. She works from a straightforward, task-focused stance that combines emotional work with cognitive and behavioral tools.

How her approaches translate to online work
Shauna uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people name core emotions and notice how those feelings shape their reactions. EFT can be helpful when relationship patterns or attachment concerns make emotions hard to name or share.She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on listening and reflecting so clients feel understood as they explore concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is part of her work for addressing unhelpful thoughts and practicing concrete behavior changes that reduce anxiety and depression.
Deciding which approach fits best is part of the early work. Shauna will collaborate with clients to match methods to their goals, needs, and preferences. That means trying strategies and adjusting them based on what helps in everyday life.
The practical benefits of doing sessions online include easier fitting of appointments into a busy schedule, options for shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reducing travel time. Session formats are not specified here, so confirm current session options before booking to learn how sessions are scheduled and delivered.
