About Shaiuana

How Shaiuana works
She draws on five years of professional experience working with a range of concerns. That background includes addressing mood disorders, bipolar symptoms, and coping with life changes. She also focuses on issues like abandonment, guilt and shame, and isolation or loneliness.
In sessions she creates an open, nonjudgmental environment where people can talk through thoughts and feelings. She works collaboratively to set goals and build tools that fit everyday life. Progress is measured by small, practical steps and improvements in day-to-day functioning.
Shaiuana offers multiple ways to meet, including video, phone, live chat, and text messaging. She speaks English and practices in Texas as an LPC. The approach is straightforward and aimed at helping people feel more grounded and able to handle life’s ups and downs.

Online support options
Therapeutic approaches you can use online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice and accept difficult thoughts and feelings while taking actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions where avoidance has become a problem. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical ways to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and change behaviors that keep problems going. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, mood disorders, and some forms of addictive behavior. Mindfulness Therapy encourages present-moment awareness and simple practices to reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation; it pairs well with ACT and CBT for stress and emotion management.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they will try methods that match those goals and adjust the plan based on what feels most useful in real life.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video lets people use visual cues and longer conversational work. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to use a camera. Live chat and text messaging can serve as shorter check-ins or a way to get support between calls. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, school, and family demands.
