About Shauna
Shauna Buck is a licensed mental health counselor in Utah with seven years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress and anxiety, work through addiction concerns, address relationship and intimacy-related issues, and recover from trauma and abuse. Her style is down-to-earth and direct, aimed at practical steps parents and adults can use day to day.
Sessions are set up to be a calm place to say what’s on your mind without judgment.
Background and approach
Shauna emphasizes listening first, then helping clients find clear next steps. She encourages small, manageable goals so change feels possible. In therapy she uses evidence-based techniques suited to each concern.
That might mean building coping skills for anxiety, making plans to reduce substance or process-related behaviors, or addressing shame and guilt tied to past events. She also supports people facing grief, burnout, or life transitions. Shauna pays attention to patterns from family of origin, attachment dynamics, and blended family stressors when those issues arise.
She also helps people navigate pregnancy and childbirth challenges and women’s issues as they relate to mental health. Her approach combines practical coaching with therapeutic work to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. Clients meet by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging.
Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, choose the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule based on the therapist’s availability.
Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions work
Shauna draws on evidence-based techniques that focus on practical change and symptom relief. One common approach is skills-based work for anxiety and stress which teaches breathing, grounding, and behavior strategies to reduce worry and improve daily functioning. Another frequent emphasis is relapse prevention and planning for substance and process-related addictions, which focuses on identifying triggers, building alternative routines, and creating clear steps for staying safe.Finding the right mix of techniques is part of the therapeutic process. Shauna collaborates with clients to choose methods that fit their goals, needs, and comfort level, and adjusts the plan as progress is made. Clients are involved in deciding what feels most helpful and realistic for their life.
Online sessions offer flexible ways to meet those goals. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work when video isn’t possible, and live chat or text messaging can be used for brief check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and access help from home or work.
