About Shayna
She works with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, and issues around intimacy and self-esteem. Shayna also helps people facing grief, trauma, eating concerns, parenting strain, and the ups and downs of ADHD and bipolar-related challenges.
Her style is collaborative and client-centered. Sessions emphasize open conversation, practical tools, and attention to each person’s values. She makes space for people to name what matters and to try small, manageable steps toward goals.
Shayna draws on cognitive behavioral techniques and acceptance-based methods alongside mindfulness and existential perspectives. That mix lets her tailor strategies to everyday problems like work stress or major transitions, and to deeper personal themes such as meaning and identity.
She offers services in English and Spanish and practices across concerns including caregiving stress, body image, adoption and foster care issues, and communication problems. For people coping with health changes or cancer-related stress she brings years of experience helping clients adjust and plan forward.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Shayna combines acceptance-based work and cognitive behavioral techniques with client-centered conversation. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify values and take small steps toward a meaningful life even when feelings are difficult. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and trying new behaviors to reduce stress and improve mood.Finding the right approach is collaborative. Shayna will listen to your goals and try methods that fit your needs and preferences. Together you can adjust the focus over time, mixing practical skills, mindfulness practices, and deeper reflection as needed.
Session formats and scheduling options are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current online session choices before booking. Many people appreciate online work because it can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Therapists often use video for face-to-face conversation or phone for simpler check-ins, and Shayna will help determine what works best for scheduling, energy levels, and daily routines.
