About Shauna
Shauna Figueroa is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 20 years of experience. She is licensed in Maryland as LCSW-C and also holds LCSW credentials. She focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, relationship and family concerns, and substance-related issues.
Shauna draws on long experience supporting people through hard life changes. She listens closely and helps people put feelings into words. Sessions focus on practical steps people can try between meetings.
Her work often centers on how past relationships shape current feelings and behavior. She pays attention to attachment, abandonment, and family-of-origin issues. This can include communication problems, codependency, and patterns that repeat across relationships.
Shauna uses several evidence-informed methods. She practices Client-Centered Therapy to prioritize a person’s own goals. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, the Gottman Method, and Mindfulness Therapy in ways that fit the concern being addressed.
People who are dealing with grief, parenting strain, sleeping problems, anger, or addiction find concrete strategies in sessions. The work can include skill-building, behavior changes, and problem-focused planning.
To start, she asks people to describe their main concerns and goals. The initial meetings are practical and focused on what to work on next. Cost varies with location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
BHow sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s goals and choices. The therapist listens, reflects, and helps clarify priorities so people decide what to work on next. This approach suits relationship concerns, self-esteem issues, and general life stress.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. Sessions include small experiments, practice exercises, and goal tracking to reduce anxiety, manage mood, or change unhelpful habits.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at how emotions shape interactions. It helps people notice emotional patterns in relationships and practice new ways of responding during conflicts or moments of disconnection.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will review your concerns, goals, and preferences and suggest an approach or mix of methods. That decision is made together and can change as progress is reviewed.
Confirm the current session options before booking, since this profile does not list specific formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a weekday break or a hectic schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Ask about session length and any format options when you schedule your first appointment.
