About Shauna
Shauna Buck is a licensed clinical mental health counselor with seven years of practice in Utah. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship or intimacy-related issues. She also supports people working through addiction concerns, codependency, and trauma and abuse. Shauna aims to create a straightforward, nonjudgmental space where clients can speak honestly about hard feelings.
Shauna uses clear, practical work in sessions. She helps people name patterns that keep them stuck and tries simple steps that can be used between meetings. Her approach is collaborative: she listens first, then suggests ways to test new behaviors and thoughts. Sessions focus on everyday change rather than abstract theory.
Her background includes seven years of clinical experience in Utah as an LCMHC, which stands for Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor. That experience includes supporting people with substance concerns, process addictions, and recovery-related stress. She also addresses family of origin issues, attachment concerns, and blended family challenges.
People often bring worries about guilt, shame, pregnancy and childbirth transitions, or compassion fatigue. Shauna works with LGBT issues and women’s concerns as part of her practice focus. She frames work around small, achievable goals and clearer communication in relationships.
To begin, she encourages a practical first step: share what’s most pressing and what you’d like to change. Sessions are intended to help people build skills they can use in real life and to make steady progress toward their goals.
Therapeutic approaches and working online
Shauna uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on practical change and emotional processing. One common approach she relies on involves helping people identify and change patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to anxiety, depression, or codependency. This work often includes setting small experiments to test new responses in everyday situations. Another common focus is trauma-informed work that helps people tell their story at a safe pace and reduce intense reactions linked to past abuse or assault. That approach aims to restore a sense of control and steadier emotions.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Shauna collaborates with each person to pick methods that match their goals and comfort level. She listens to what matters most and adjusts techniques as the work progresses so the plan fits the person rather than the other way around.
The original biography does not list which remote session formats are offered, so please confirm current options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow check-ins from a familiar setting. It also makes short, focused sessions or more frequent brief check-ins easier to arrange when needed, helping therapy stay practical and relevant to everyday life.
