Dr. Shauna Snipes

Dr. Shauna Snipes helps people manage strong emotions and everyday stress. She works with adults on issues like anger, anxiety, depression, parenting stress, and problems with relationships. Her short, direct style aims to make sessions feel straightforward and useful for busy lives.

She earned a doctoral degree in clinical psychology in 2011 and has been licensed in Texas since 2014 as TX Psychologist 36664. Over a decade in practice has given her experience with a wide range of concerns, including mood disorders, trauma, grief, ADHD, addictions, and issues related to intimacy and self-esteem.

Dr. Snipes describes her work as client-centered and adaptable. She pays attention to each person’s pace and preferences and adjusts tools to match what a person needs in the moment. That can include practical problem solving, skills practice, or talking through past experiences to better understand current reactions.

She has also worked with people who have intellectual and developmental disabilities, focusing on building day-to-day skills and communication. That experience shaped her interest in helping people improve social interactions and manage impulsivity or difficult behaviors.

Therapy with her usually involves clear goals and step-by-step changes. Sessions emphasize learning skills that can be used after the appointment. People who choose her can expect a respectful, nonjudgmental approach and collaboration on realistic next steps.

How her approaches shape online therapy

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the person’s lead. The therapist helps people set their own goals and moves at a pace that feels comfortable. This approach is useful when someone needs a respectful, steady space to understand strong emotions like anger or grief.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. Sessions often include simple exercises to change unhelpful thinking patterns and to practice new behaviors between meetings. CBT can help with anxiety, depression, anger, and impulsive reactions.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships. It emphasizes distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and better interpersonal effectiveness, which can be useful for people who struggle with strong mood swings or impulsive behavior.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss options, try different strategies, and adjust methods based on the client’s goals and what works in practice. Clients are encouraged to share feedback so the plan stays useful and realistic.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, or allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Many people find that remote sessions let them practice skills in real-life settings and bring questions to the next meeting for focused problem solving.
