Dr. Shauna Snipes

Dr. Shauna Snipes helps people who are feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or stuck. She is a psychologist based in Texas with a straightforward, nonjudgmental approach. Parents and caregivers who are worried about daily functioning often find her practical style easy to follow.

She earned a doctoral degree in clinical psychology in 2011 and has been licensed in Texas since 2014 as TX Psychologist 36664. Over a ten year career she has worked with children, adolescents, adults, and older-adult populations. She also has experience in psychological testing and evaluations in both general and forensic settings.

A substantial part of her work has involved supporting people with intellectual and developmental disabilities to build daily living skills. That work shaped her focus on communication, social skills, and realistic problem solving. She describes her orientation as eclectic with a client-centered emphasis, which means she draws on different techniques while prioritizing each person’s pace and goals.

When addressing common concerns such as depression, anxiety, ADHD, or substance use, sessions aim to be practical and collaborative. She uses strategies from cognitive behavioral approaches and mindfulness alongside motivational and relational methods. The emphasis is on small, achievable steps that build stronger routines and relationships.

Dr. Snipes recognizes that starting therapy involves trust and effort. She invites prospective clients to move at a comfortable speed and to focus on clear, manageable goals. The aim is steady progress toward better day-to-day functioning and greater emotional balance.

How therapy approaches guide online work

Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s goals and pace, emphasizing empathetic listening and working from the client’s agenda. It helps when someone needs a steady, respectful space to talk through daily struggles and plan small changes.

Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at connections between thoughts, feelings, and behavior. It breaks problems into manageable parts and teaches concrete skills for anxiety, low mood, and compulsive patterns.

Dialectical behavior therapy, DBT, brings attention to emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and communication skills. It is useful for people who want practical tools to handle intense feelings and improve relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose techniques that fit their goals, preferences, and everyday life. That means trying different tools and adjusting the plan as progress is made.

Confirm current session options before booking, as specific formats are not detailed here. Online therapy can make scheduling easier and help sessions fit around school, work, or caregiving. It can also allow for shorter check-ins when time is tight or for using practices like mindfulness exercises between meetings.
