More about Shawna

Hello! My name is Shawna Theriot (pronounced Terry-O), and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW-S). I offer a variety of services to assist those who are struggling in their day-to-day life from stressors such as parenting, relationships, employment challenges, educational/career needs, or more complex problems such as anxiety and depression. We all need a helping hand throughout different stages of our lives and it is ok to seek guidance from an outside resource! I enjoy helping others on their journey by providing therapy services that are tailored to meet each person’s specific, individual goals as they navigate life’s challenges. I use a variety of methods including art/music assisted therapy, meditation/mindfulness, and most importantly, allowing people to have a safe space to explore themselves more deeply to find their own path.

My experience includes working with those dealing with trauma, care for those who have been in foster care, teens dealing with bullying/self-esteem/self-confidence, managing ADHD in all ages, adults struggling to find a work-life balance, seniors or others navigating illness and transitions in life, End-of-Life support, Caregiver support, LGBTQ+/Gender/Identity needs, and grief work both within the community and in private practice. I am passionate about my work and know that each individual has the capacity to feel perfectly whole and complete. After all, you already are! Sometimes we just need a little help finding our way back to health and balance. I offer virtual sessions via video, phone, and text for ages 9 and up and accept most major insurance carriers.

I look forward to seeing you as we walk the path of wellness together!

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.
