About Shauna
Dr. Shauna Snipes helps people who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure where to begin. She approaches each person with patience and without judgment.
As a Texas psychologist she draws on a decade of clinical work to guide practical steps forward. She earned a doctoral degree in clinical psychology and has been licensed in Texas since 2014. Over ten years she has worked with a wide range of ages, including adults and older adults, and has experience with testing and evaluation in general and forensic settings.
Background and approach
That experience shapes how she notices strengths and challenges in everyday life. Dr. Snipes has spent significant time supporting people with intellectual and developmental disabilities to build daily living and social skills.
This work reinforced her focus on clear communication and practical skill building. She uses those skills when helping with issues such as depression, anxiety, ADHD, grief, and substance concerns. Her style is client-centered and flexible.
She tailors sessions to each person’s pace and needs, and draws on tools from different therapeutic approaches to fit the situation. Sessions involve talking through problems, practicing new skills, and setting achievable goals. For anyone worried about starting, she acknowledges that therapy asks for trust and time.
She works with people to create a plan that feels manageable and to take step-by-step action toward better day-to-day functioning.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the person. The therapist creates a space to reflect on goals and helps shape sessions around the client's priorities. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thought and behavior and teaches practical techniques to reduce symptoms like anxiety or depression and improve day-to-day functioning.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try methods that seem likely to help, and adjust the plan over time. Together they decide which tools and exercises fit the client's needs and pace.
Online formats offer flexibility for ongoing care. Video calls allow richer conversation and nonverbal cues, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief updates, skill coaching between sessions, or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to maintain consistency over time.
