About Shauna
Shauna Buck is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) licensed in Utah with seven years of professional experience. She helps people who are handling stress and anxiety, addictions, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, depression, grief, and intimacy-related concerns. Shauna also supports those dealing with issues around self-esteem, anger, coping with life changes, and compassion fatigue.
In sessions she focuses on clear conversation and practical steps. She listens for patterns that keep problems repeating, and then works with the person to try small changes that can ease day-to-day life. Expect straightforward talk about what is happening now and what you want to change.
Shauna uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address addiction, trauma, and relationship concerns. She pays attention to attachment and family of origin issues and how those shape current habits. She also works with blended family challenges and co-morbid conditions where more than one problem is present.
Her approach includes addressing shame, guilt, and recovery from sexual assault or process addictions like gambling or problematic pornography use. Pregnancy, childbirth, and women’s concerns are also within her focus areas. She integrates coaching-style tools when practical to support concrete goals.
Sessions are conducted in English and reflect her experience working with a range of personal and relational struggles. People who want a direct, practical conversation about making changes at home and in relationships may find her style suitable.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and working online
Shauna uses evidence-based techniques focused on observable change. One approach she commonly applies involves treating addictive behaviors by identifying triggers, building coping skills, and creating step-by-step plans to reduce harmful patterns. This is practical work aimed at day-to-day habits and urges.Another common strand in her work addresses trauma and abuse through stabilizing skills and gradual processing. That means helping a person build tolerance for difficult feelings, reduce overwhelming reactions, and then carefully address traumatic memories or their effects on relationships.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Shauna collaborates with each person to pick methods that match their goals, preferences, and what feels doable. She regularly reviews progress and adjusts the plan to keep it useful and relevant.
The practical benefits of doing this work online include fitting sessions into a busy routine and keeping continuity of care when schedules change. Because the original biography does not list specific session formats, confirm available options before booking. Many people find online sessions help them maintain regular check-ins, reduce travel time, and fit short or longer appointments around parenting and work demands.
