About Shawna

Shawna Theriot is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Texas with 22 years of practice. She addresses everyday pressures like stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression, and coping with life changes. Shawna frames therapy as practical help for real problems, not abstract theory.

She draws on client-centered methods to focus on each person's concerns and goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and mindfulness techniques are part of her approach when clients need tools to manage thoughts and emotions. Motivational interviewing and narrative therapy help people untangle difficult decisions and reframe personal stories.

Shawna has experience across a broad range of situations. That includes adoption and foster-care histories, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, aging and geriatric concerns, and divorce or separation. She has also worked with people facing domestic violence, communication problems, and issues tied to family of origin.

Practical matters of daily life come up in her work: parenting pressures, job and educational challenges, and finding a healthier work-life balance. She also supports grief, end-of-life transitions, and fatherhood-related concerns. Her style tends to mix talking with tangible techniques clients can try between sessions.

Sessions are offered in English and operate within the scope of her Texas LCSW license. People interested in beginning work with her are asked to follow the site's process to match and schedule a first session.

BHow sessions work

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy in her work means conversations are led by the client's priorities. The therapist listens for what matters most and helps set goals that fit daily life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on concrete skills for managing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. Mindfulness Therapy offers simple practices to notice thoughts and bodily reactions, which can help with emotional regulation and chronic pain.

Finding the right approach is part of the first sessions. Shawna will work together with clients to decide which methods feel most useful. That collaborative process includes trying techniques, checking what helps, and adapting the plan based on goals and preferences.

The practical benefit of online work is making therapy fit into a busy life. Before booking, confirm the current session options through the site since formats were not specified here. Online work can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins during a work break, or avoid the need to be on camera when that feels unnecessary. Licensed professionals can use these formats to help people maintain momentum between appointments and practice skills in everyday settings.
