About Shauna
Shauna Kuhbander is an LCSW licensed in Indiana with 19 years of professional work experience. She focuses on helping people who are dealing with stress and anxiety, family conflict, trauma and abuse, parenting struggles, and major life changes. Shauna presents a calm, straightforward style and emphasizes each person’s strengths when moving forward.
Shauna believes clients are the experts on their own stories. She listens for what is working and what gets in the way.
Background and approach
Together she and the client set practical goals and try options that fit everyday life. In sessions she uses clear, down-to-earth language. Conversations often include ways to handle stress in the moment and steps to reduce anxiety over time.
She also helps parents manage difficult moments and adjust to changing family needs. Her background includes nearly two decades of experience in social work and clinical practice across Indiana. That experience informs how she works with trauma and abuse, helping people identify coping tools and build safety plans that make sense for them.
Shauna encourages small, steady changes rather than quick fixes. She supports people through the early, often hard first steps of therapy and stays focused on practical strategies that can be used between sessions.
Approaches and online care that fit your life
Shauna uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques in clear, practical ways. One common approach focuses on teaching coping skills for stress and anxiety such as breathing exercises, grounding, and step-by-step exposure to feared situations. These techniques aim to reduce immediate overwhelm and build confidence over time.Another approach concentrates on trauma-informed strategies that emphasize safety and pacing. This helps people notice triggers, develop coping plans, and work forward at a pace that feels manageable. For parenting concerns she offers problem-solving and behavior-focused strategies to handle challenging moments and improve daily routines.
Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your goals, try a few methods, and adjust based on what helps most. Clients and therapist work together to pick skills and exercises that match personal needs and schedules.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls let you have a longer, face-to-face conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging work well for short check-ins, quick skill practice, or when you need flexible timing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy days and keep continuity when life gets in the way.
