About Shauna
Shauna Stimmel is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Idaho with eight years of clinical experience. She holds a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and a bachelor’s degree in criminal psychology. Shauna works with adults on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting, self-esteem, depression, and family concerns.
She brings crisis-care experience to therapy and uses a mix of practical methods to help people manage symptoms and make clearer choices. Sessions focus on identifying strengths, learning skills for day-to-day life, and naming what matters to each person. Shauna integrates evidence-based approaches alongside her personal faith perspective when clients request that context.
Shauna often helps people who feel overwhelmed by worry or low mood to notice patterns and try new behaviors. She also supports parents who want clearer communication and better ways to respond to challenging child behaviors. Her style is direct and nonjudgmental; she works with people from different beliefs and identities.
When trauma or intense symptoms are present, she may use approaches aimed at reducing distress and helping people regain regulation. She also works with concerns such as addiction, dissociation, and complicated mental health conditions by combining skills work and longer-term treatment planning.
Sessions include practical homework, skill rehearsal, and discussion about real-life situations. People who want to explore identity, repair relationships with boundaries, or address patterns like codependency will find a focus on concrete steps and repeated practice. The emphasis is on steady progress and clearer choices.
How sessions work
How her approaches work for online sessions
Shauna uses Client-Centered Therapy which focuses on listening, reflecting, and building a working relationship so people can make their own changes. That approach helps when someone needs space to sort values, identity, and parenting choices.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills to teach practical tools. CBT looks at how thoughts and behaviors keep problems going and offers steps to test new actions. DBT provides emotion regulation and distress-tolerance skills useful for intense feelings and relationship patterns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Shauna will help figure out which methods fit a person’s goals, symptoms, and preferences, and she adjusts plans as progress is tracked. This is a collaborative process where the therapist and client try strategies and refine them together.
The biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Many people find skills practice, homework review, and EMDR-style processing can be adapted to remote sessions, while others prefer in-person work; Shauna will discuss the pros and cons when you schedule.
