Shauna Buck , LCMHC

Shauna Buck is a licensed clinician practicing in Utah with seven years of professional experience. She holds an LCMHC (Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor) and focuses on supporting people facing stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, relationship challenges, trauma and abuse, and depression. Her practice also addresses issues related to LGBT identities, family dynamics, grief, intimacy, anger, self-esteem, coping with life changes, coaching, and compassion fatigue, along with related concerns such as attachment difficulties, blended family challenges, codependency, and substance or process addictions.

Shauna emphasizes creating an open and nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be explored honestly. She works collaboratively with individuals to identify patterns, develop practical skills, and pursue more fulfilling ways of relating to themselves and others. Taking the first step toward change often requires courage, and Shauna offers steady support through that process. By combining clinical knowledge with a compassionate approach, she helps clients navigate transitions, heal from difficult experiences, and build resilience for the future.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Access

Shauna uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that are adapted to work well in online settings. Trauma-informed approaches focus on understanding how past harm can affect current emotions and relationships and help clients build safety and coping skills while processing difficult experiences. Skills-based strategies target symptoms of anxiety, stress, and mood concerns by teaching practical tools such as emotion regulation, grounding, and problem-solving to manage day-to-day challenges. Coaching-oriented work emphasizes goal setting, behavioral changes, and accountability to support recovery from addictions and to strengthen relationship and life skills.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Shauna partners with each client to identify goals, try strategies, and adjust the plan based on what fits the client’s needs, values, and preferences. This teamwork helps tailor care in ways that feel useful and sustainable.

Online therapy with Shauna is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. These options make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, maintain continuity during life transitions, and access licensed professionals from home or another convenient location.
