About Shauna

Dr. Shauna Snipes is a Texas licensed psychologist who aims to help parents and individuals facing everyday life stresses. She speaks plainly and listens closely to figure out what is most pressing.

Her style is nonjudgmental and practical, focused on small changes that can make daily life easier. She earned a doctoral degree in clinical psychology and has worked in the field for about a decade. Dr.

Snipes has treated people across the lifespan, including children, teens, adults, and older adults.

Background and approach

That range gave her experience with common concerns like anxiety, depression, and parenting challenges. She has also worked with people who have intellectual or developmental disabilities, helping them build day-to-day skills and social communication. That work shaped her belief that relationships and clear communication matter a great deal for everyday functioning.

Her approach blends several methods and centers on the person in front of her. She uses tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing when they fit a person’s needs. She moves at each person’s pace and adjusts techniques to what helps most.

Dr. Snipes is listed as TX Psychologist 36664 and practices in Texas. Sessions are offered in English and include formats like video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging.

If parents want straightforward guidance and steady support, she focuses on practical steps to manage stress, parenting issues, and mood concerns.

Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care

Dr. Snipes commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in her online work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying new behaviors to reduce anxiety and depression. DBT teaches skills for managing strong emotions and improving relationships, which can help with anger, impulsivity, and stress.

She also brings a client-centered stance, meaning she listens first and tailors methods to each person. Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to choose techniques that match goals, comfort level, and the issues they want to address.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text messaging to fit different schedules and needs. These options make it easier to keep regular appointments while juggling parenting, work, or school. The variety of formats also allows changing how sessions happen over time as needs shift.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
