About Shawna
Shawna Theriot is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who focuses on straightforward, person-centered care. She blends practical skill-building with calm, reflective work to help people handle stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression, and major life changes. She draws on client-centered therapy to follow each person's pace and priorities.
Cognitive behavioral techniques are used to identify unhelpful thoughts and build new habits. Mindfulness practices help slow things down and reduce overwhelm in day-to-day life.
Background and approach
Shawna has 22 years of experience in community and personal settings across Texas. Her background includes supporting people affected by foster care and adoption, caregivers managing stress, those facing chronic illness or pain, and people going through divorce or separation. She has also worked with concerns around body image, fatherhood issues, and family of origin difficulties.
In sessions she uses clear tools like thought records, small behavior changes, and guided mindfulness exercises. Narrative approaches help people make sense of difficult events and see new possibilities for the future. Motivational interviewing is used when people want to build momentum for change.
She offers therapy by video call, phone, live chat, and text messaging. Sessions are tailored to individual goals and paced to what each person can manage. Shawna aims to make the work practical, approachable, and focused on steps that help in everyday life.

Online support
Practical approaches for online therapy and change
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's own goals and pace, creating space to talk through what matters most and decide on next steps. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps identify patterns of thought and behavior that keep problems going and teaches small, concrete skills to change them. Mindfulness therapy offers simple exercises to reduce reactivity and bring attention back to the present moment, which can ease anxiety and stress.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to try different techniques and decide what fits best based on needs, goals, and preferences. Sessions often mix methods so people get practical tools plus deeper reflection.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text messaging to make care more flexible. Video calls are useful for fuller conversations and exercises that use faces and gestures. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for brief check-ins, homework, or when a shorter touchpoint fits a busy day. These options help people fit therapy into work, caregiving, or travel schedules while keeping the focus on progress and usable skills.
