About Shauna

Dr. Shauna Snipes offers care for people coping with stress, anxiety, depression, parenting challenges, relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, ADHD, addictions, and a wide range of mood and behavioral issues.

Background and approach

Based in Texas, she brings a nonjudgmental stance and a focus on meeting clients where they are to support practical progress and improved daily functioning. With a doctoral degree in Clinical Psychology and a Texas psychology license (TX Psychologist 36664), she has spent a decade working across lifespan groups including children, adolescents, adults, and older adults.

Her experience includes assessment and work with general and forensic populations, and she has devoted substantial time to supporting individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities to build communication, social, and daily living skills. Dr.

Snipes describes her method as eclectic with a client-centered emphasis, drawing on cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior strategies, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing as appropriate to each person. She aims to tailor pace and interventions to individual needs while helping clients develop coping strategies and interpersonal skills that fit their lives.

Approaches That Translate Well to Online Therapy

Dr. Snipes commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy to guide online work. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through clear, goal-oriented techniques that can be practiced between sessions to address anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and collaboration to create a respectful space where clients set the pace and priorities for growth.

She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills when appropriate, teaching emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness strategies that can be practiced in daily life. Together these approaches allow sessions to be both skills-focused and attentive to the client's personal experience.

Finding the right approach is part of the work; the therapist collaborates with each client to clarify goals, test different strategies, and adjust methods based on what feels most helpful. This shared process helps ensure that interventions match a client's needs and preferences.

Online appointments are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for scheduling and for how people like to communicate. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, fit sessions into busy lives, and practice new skills between meetings.
