More about Shaun

  • 23 years' experience
  • Female
  • LMHP

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Nebraska with 23 years of experience. I have done both office-based and home-based counseling and have worked with a range of concerns--addressing everything from codependency to anxiety to depression to Al-Anon issues.

My counseling style is based on person-centered therapy. I believe that you are the expert on your own life and your perspective is critical to resolving your issues. Showing respect, empathy, and compassion to all people is of the upmost importance to me. However, my main theoretical approach stems from the Cognitive Behavioral therapeutic school of thought.

It takes courage to seek assistance help you are struggling with life's stressors. I look forward to meeting you and hopefully providing the support you need to resolve any matters that are causing you distress or emotional pain.

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Shaun has been my therapist for over 3 years. When I started I was desperate for my family to be fixed. I could not see past my pain. I did not know how to express myself. My feelings and thoughts were so tangled. Shaun patiently listened and asked questions until I could start verbalizing my inner struggles. At times I just wanted her to tell me what I was thinking and feeling so I did not have to do the work! I am grateful she pursued showing me how to identify my thoughts. I have been given the gift of my life back. My family has not been fixed but I am healing and it feels great! I will continue my counseling because I want to continue healing.

Shaun tries to get at the heart of my issues. Oftentimes I truly don’t know how to start processing events in my life.

When I started with counseling I had no idea what to expect. All I knew was that I was desperate for help. I have found, through almost one year of counseling with Shaun , that she has listened and helped me find my own way. She has not told me what to do but help me learn that I can have the confidence to do what I need to do. When she learned more of my story she referred me to Alanon. This has propelled me on a path of healing….. and a journey that I will continue through my life When I have felt like I’m in a crisis mode in between sessions, I have no hesitation in reaching out and messaging for support.

Reviewed January 2021

I met with Shaun for about 2 months. She was a good listener and sounding board for me during a very difficult time. I appreciated her ability to name some of my behaviors as codependent or unhealthy. She also always created room for me to come to my own conclusion as to how to solve my problems. I tended to do most of the talking, but Shaun's created a safe space and provided valuable input.

Reviewed December 2020

Shaun has been a great counselor so far, she is very understanding and thoughtful about the discussion, and provides helpful feedback and insights. We’ve only had a handful of sessions, and I’ve already been able to make small changes in my life and unload some of the stress through our sessions. Looking forward to continuing to work together.

Reviewed November 2020

Shaun has been a wonderful counselor to me since I signed up for BetterHelp. I’m someone who struggles a lot with anxiety and has always been made nervous by phone calls, so I was worried about starting Teletherapy, but Shaun immediately made me feel very comfortable. In every session, it is clear that I am heard and that I am supported. She listens to me, validates my feelings, and helps me find ways to move forward and grow. She is an excellent counselor and I am very glad to have her in my corner.

Reviewed September 2020

Very grateful for my time with Shaun! Not only did I feel heard and understood, but she provided me with actionable steps and goals to help me move in the right direction. I left our sessions feeling lighter, more in control (which is saying a lot during this crazy time with so much out of our control), and generally, well, better! I also really appreciate her patience and flexibility, she never minded if I needed to step away to tend to my toddler or switch tech modes due to lost connection. I would love to work with her again in the future and highly recommend her.

Since we first started talking it has been an unfolding helpful experience. I have seen things differently and practiced them in my daily life.

I enjoy my weekly sessions and look forward to the next.

I've been speaking with Shaun at least once a week for the past few months. When I first came to her, my life had gone through a lot of changes and I had a lot to work though. I didn't really have a positive self image and I wasn't comfortable standing on my own in social situations. Shaun's helped me to have a better sense of self worth. I'm more comfortable around people. I also feel like I'm better able to advocate for myself at work. I'm also much less depressed and generally things feel more positive. I'm not sure I'm quite though this yet, but Shaun's professionalism, kindness, and patience has been really helpful.
