About Shauna

Shauna Buck is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) practicing in Utah with seven years of professional experience. She works with people who struggle with stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, and related concerns such as depression and grief.

Shauna focuses on helping clients name what is happening and try practical ways to feel more in control. Sessions are straightforward and conversational. She encourages people to talk through what they are living, notice patterns, and practice different responses between meetings.

Her work often addresses intimacy and codependency patterns, attachment concerns, and issues that come from family of origin or blended family arrangements. She also supports people coping with process addictions, drug and alcohol addiction, and the emotional fallout from sexual assault and abuse.

Shauna pays attention to how guilt, shame, and compassion fatigue affect daily choices. She helps people develop clearer boundaries, reduce people-pleasing, and rebuild self-esteem using step-by-step strategies and coaching where helpful.

People meet practical goals over time, such as managing anxiety, reducing harmful behaviors, or improving communication in close relationships. To begin, clients choose an online therapy option, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session through the provider's system.

How sessions work

How evidence-based approaches translate to online work

Shauna uses well-supported therapeutic techniques that focus on changing unhelpful patterns and building new skills. One common approach is cognitive-behavioral work, which looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep stress and anxiety active and teaches practical ways to shift them. Another approach addresses attachment and relationship patterns by helping people notice how early relationship messages affect current interactions and practice different ways of connecting.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Shauna will work with the client to consider what feels most useful based on their concerns, goals, and preferences, and they will adjust methods as progress is made.

The original biography does not list which online session formats are used, so confirm available options before booking. Many people find online therapy helpful because it can fit more easily into daily life, saving travel time and allowing sessions during breaks or between other commitments. Online work also makes it simpler to maintain continuity of care when schedules are unpredictable and supports ongoing practice of new skills between meetings.
