Shawna Theriot, LCSW

Shawna Theriot is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who focuses on helping people manage stress and anxiety. She draws on 22 years of experience to support people facing depression, grief, self-esteem struggles, and major life changes. Shawna aims for practical, steady progress in day-to-day life.

She uses client-centered methods to make space for each person's priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is part of her approach when thoughts and behaviors need practical adjustment. Mindfulness and meditation tools are offered to reduce overwhelm and build calm in stressful moments.

Shawna has worked with people affected by trauma and those who have been in foster care. She has experience supporting teens who face bullying and self-esteem issues, adults juggling work-life balance, and seniors navigating illness and transitions. Caregiver stress, grief, and end-of-life concerns are also areas she addresses.

Narrative work and motivational interviewing are used when someone wants to reframe their story or find the drive to change habits. She also incorporates art and music-assisted activities when they suit a person’s goals and preferences. Sessions are shaped around what each person wants to accomplish.

Shawna practices in Texas and communicates in English. She offers options for virtual work and accepts many major insurance carriers. To begin, people choose the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to therapist availability.

Her style is collaborative and practical, with attention to the everyday demands that make stress and anxiety harder to handle. Shawna invites people to find small, manageable steps toward better balance.

Approaches for online stress and anxiety support

Shawna uses Client-Centered Therapy to place the person's goals at the center of work. That means sessions start with what matters most to the client and follow their pace while exploring feelings and options. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, offers concrete steps to change unhelpful thought patterns and everyday behaviors, which can reduce anxiety and low mood.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Shawna will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals and comfort level. Together they review what helps, adjust techniques, and try different tools until a good fit is found.

Please confirm current session options before booking, as formats vary by therapist. The original biography indicates virtual sessions via video, phone, and text are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also let someone use mindfulness exercises or CBT tools between sessions to support progress in everyday life.
