Shauna Buck

Shauna Buck is a licensed clinical mental health counselor (LCMHC) practicing in Utah. She supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, relationship strains, trauma and abuse, and anger. Shauna aims to make starting therapy feel manageable and direct, and she encourages small steps toward clearer day-to-day functioning.

Shauna creates a calm, nonjudgmental space for people to share difficult thoughts and feelings. She listens for patterns that get in the way of feeling steady, then helps clients try new ways of responding. Sessions are practical and focused on what matters most to the person in front of her.

Over seven years of work, Shauna has supported people through depression, grief, intimacy challenges, and self-esteem struggles. She also works with concerns such as codependency, substance and process addictions, pregnancy and childbirth issues, and the impacts of family of origin dynamics. Her practice pays attention to how attachment and blended family situations shape everyday reactions and relationships.

Shauna uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to each person. She partners with clients to set clear goals and track progress. The approach balances steady listening with direct strategies to reduce distress and build coping skills.

People who contact Shauna typically follow a short matching process and then schedule sessions based on availability. She speaks English and provides services from Utah, and she does not accept international clients.

How evidence-based approaches can work online

Shauna uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One common approach she uses helps people notice unhelpful patterns in thinking and behavior, then practice small, concrete skills to reduce anxiety and manage mood. This approach suits stress, anxiety, and many day-to-day coping problems.

Another approach she uses focuses on managing addictive behaviors and processes by identifying triggers, building alternate coping responses, and planning for high-risk moments. This kind of work is often action-oriented and includes skill practice between sessions.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Shauna works with each person to pick methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. She checks in regularly and adjusts strategies based on what is working and what is not.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow more consistent check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also make shorter, focused sessions possible for quick skill practice or follow-up work.
