About Shauna
Shauna Kuhbander uses practical, evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people find clearer ways forward when life becomes overwhelming. She is a licensed clinical social worker in Indiana and draws on 19 years of professional experience to guide sessions. Shauna speaks plainly and focuses on small, doable steps that can make a day feel easier.
She helps people manage stress and anxiety by teaching simple coping strategies and changing unhelpful thinking patterns.
Background and approach
For those facing family conflict or parenting strain, she listens for the day-to-day pressures and helps identify concrete changes that reduce tension at home. When trauma or abuse is part of the story, she moves at a steady pace so people feel more in control as they process difficult memories. Shauna emphasizes the client’s own knowledge about their life.
She works with each person to set realistic goals and then practices skills that fit into real routines. Sessions focus on what matters now and what can be tried between meetings. Her approach is collaborative and straightforward.
People leave sessions with a plan they can use right away and adjustments are made when something isn’t working. Shauna provides sessions in English and offers several online formats. To begin, a simple matching process helps pair someone with the right schedule and format so therapy can get started in a practical way.
Evidence-based approaches and flexible online care
Shauna uses practical, evidence-based techniques that focus on what people can do day to day. One commonly used approach addresses stress and anxiety by teaching coping skills and ways to change unhelpful thought patterns, helping people reduce worry and manage strong emotions. Another approach is trauma-informed pacing, which helps people process difficult experiences in small steps while building a sense of control and safety in the moment. These techniques are chosen to match the problem and the person’s pace rather than forcing a single method.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Shauna will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, try methods that fit their life, and adjust the plan when needed so the work stays useful and manageable.
Online therapy offers options that fit busy schedules. Video calls let conversations feel more face to face. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth or mobility is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging make brief check-ins and step-by-step skill coaching easier between meetings. These formats make it simpler to keep therapy consistent while balancing family, work, and other responsibilities.
