Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Shauna Holder draws on client-centered therapy to place each person's experience at the center of treatment, offering empathy and collaboration to help clients clarify values and goals and to build self-understanding. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and to develop practical skills for managing anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) contributes emotion-regulation, distress-tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills that can be especially helpful for intense emotions, relationship challenges, and impulsive behaviors.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Shauna works collaboratively with clients to select and adapt techniques that fit their needs, goals, and personal preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with Shauna is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to promote flexibility and access. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity during transitions, and receive timely support between in-person visits when needed. Licensed professionals can effectively use these formats to deliver structured, skills-based work and relational support across a wide range of concerns.
