About Shauna
Shauna Stimmel is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Idaho with eight years of clinical experience. She holds a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and a bachelor’s degree in criminal psychology. Shauna works with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, self-esteem, depression, and family matters, and she commonly helps young adults facing early-adulthood pressures.
Shauna uses practical, evidence-informed approaches in sessions. She draws on cognitive behavioral strategies to help people change unhelpful thinking and behavior. She also integrates client-centered work that focuses on each person’s strengths and goals. When trauma is involved, she may use methods that help process traumatic memories and reduce their hold on everyday life.
Her background includes more than eight years in crisis care and work with both adults and adolescents. That experience means she is used to helping people who feel overwhelmed, isolated, or stuck after big life changes. She also supports parents who want clearer communication and better ways to understand behaviors at home.
In conversation she aims to be direct and practical. Sessions typically involve clear goals, teachable tools, and follow-up ideas to try between meetings. People who want straightforward help with anxiety, feeling behind, relationship friction, or life direction often find this approach useful.
Shauna integrates personal values into counseling when clients want that included. She also works with issues such as addiction, dissociation, co-morbidity, and challenges linked to adoption or neurodivergence. For readers considering therapy, she asks that they confirm current session options before booking.
How her approaches translate to online work
Shauna uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify and change patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to anxiety or low mood. CBT sessions are often practical and task-focused, with clear steps and exercises to try between meetings.She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which centers the person's experience and strengths. That approach focuses on listening, reflection, and helping clients clarify their own goals and values. For trauma, she includes approaches designed to process traumatic memory and reduce its impact on daily life.
Finding the right method is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively with each person to choose which approaches fit their needs, goals, and comfort level. That can mean combining methods or adjusting pace as progress is tracked.
