About Shauna

Shauna Buck is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) practicing in Utah with seven years of professional experience. She helps people who struggle with stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, depression, anger, and related challenges. Shauna focuses on practical steps people can use day to day to feel less reactive and more in control.

Her style is direct and straightforward. She encourages clients to talk through what leads to angry reactions and to practice concrete alternatives. Sessions often include breathing and grounding strategies, and simple behavior changes to lower tension before it escalates.

Shauna also addresses the underlying issues that keep anger cycling, such as attachment wounds, family-of-origin patterns, grief, guilt, and shame. She looks at how substance use or process addictions interact with emotional reactivity, and helps clients identify triggers and patterns.

When relationship concerns come up she helps people improve communication and set clearer boundaries. For people dealing with pregnancy, childbirth, or women's issues she offers focused support for the unique stresses those times bring.

Shauna works in English and practices in Utah. Her approach aims to be practical and steady, giving people tools they can use between sessions to handle frustration, rebuild trust, and manage strong feelings more effectively.

How sessions work

Therapeutic approaches and remote sessions

Shauna uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on reducing reactivity and building new habits. One common approach she employs is brief behavior change work, which breaks down stressful situations into small, manageable steps and practices new responses. This helps with anger that shows up at work or at home by giving clear alternatives to automatic reactions. She also uses grounding and breathing-based tools to reduce immediate physiological arousal. These techniques teach simple ways to lower intensity in the moment so someone can think more clearly before responding. For issues rooted in relationships or attachment, she explores patterns from family of origin and helps people notice how those patterns influence current reactions. Finding the right mix of approaches is collaborative. The therapist will review your goals, try strategies, and adjust methods based on what works for you. That process helps pick techniques that match your needs and daily life rather than imposing a single method. The biography does not specify session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Many people find online sessions useful because they remove travel time, make it easier to fit appointments into a workday, and allow quick check-ins when needed. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, while video sessions allow for visual cues and longer therapeutic work. Discuss format preferences when you schedule to choose what fits your routine and goals.
