Shawna Theriot

Shawna Theriot (pronounced Terry-O) is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Texas with 22 years of experience supporting people through everyday stressors and more complex emotional challenges. She works with concerns that can show up in day-to-day life such as parenting pressures, relationship strain, employment challenges, and educational or career needs, as well as anxiety and depression. Her work is guided by the belief that it is normal to need support at different stages of life, and that therapy can be a helpful outside resource when things feel heavy or unclear.

Shawna tailors therapy to each person’s individual goals and uses a mix of methods to help clients reconnect with themselves and move forward with greater balance. Her approach may include art or music assisted interventions, meditation and mindfulness practices, and creating a supportive space where clients can explore their experiences more deeply and identify their own path.

Her background includes working with trauma, supporting those who have been in foster care, helping teens facing bullying and self-esteem struggles, and assisting individuals of all ages with ADHD-related challenges. She also works with adults seeking healthier work-life balance, seniors and others navigating illness and life transitions, end-of-life support, caregiver stress, LGBTQ+/gender/identity needs, and grief in both community settings and private practice. Shawna offers virtual sessions by video, phone, and text for ages 9 and up and accepts most major insurance carriers.
