About Shauna

She helps people talk through stress, anxiety, parenting concerns, mood changes, and relationship struggles.

Background and approach
That work emphasized practical skill building for daily routines and clearer communication. Dr. Snipes uses a client-centered stance.
Sessions focus on what each person needs in the moment and move at a comfortable pace. She also draws from cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and from dialectical behavior tools to build emotion regulation and coping skills. Mindfulness practices and motivational interviewing are part of her toolbox when they match a person's goals.
Those methods are used to increase moment-to-moment awareness and to strengthen motivation for change. The mix of approaches is chosen with the individual's needs in mind rather than a one-size-fits-all plan. In sessions she aims to create a space where people can talk honestly about anxiety, grief, addiction, or life transitions.
She supports practical problem solving, skill practice, and steps toward clearer communication and better daily functioning.
How Dr. Snipes Uses Talk Therapy Online
Dr. Snipes draws from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to guide online work. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on spotting and changing thoughts and behaviors that increase anxiety or low mood, which helps with panic, phobias, and everyday stress. Dialectical behavior therapy teaches concrete skills for managing strong emotions, improving distress tolerance, and strengthening relationships, which can be helpful for intense mood swings or impulsive reactions.Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. She collaborates with each person to choose which methods fit their goals and situation. Together they try techniques, check what works, and adjust plans as needed rather than sticking to a single method from the start.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let people work face to face when schedules allow. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit a short check-in. Live chat or text-based messaging can be useful for brief updates, coping tools between sessions, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, and daily demands while still focusing on practical skills and progress.
