About Shayna

Shayna Strauch is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) practicing in California with four years of professional experience. She helps people who are facing stress, anxiety, depression, career challenges, and major life changes. Shayna aims to create a straightforward space for people to talk, sort through feelings, and plan small steps forward.

Her work often focuses on practical communication skills and rebuilding connection after relationship problems. She supports people who want to repair trust, improve how they talk about hard topics, and strengthen emotional closeness. Sessions tend to focus on clear goals and doable changes rather than long, abstract plans.

Shayna also assists people dealing with aging and geriatric issues, caregiver strain, chronic illness or pain, and end-of-life concerns. She listens to the realities that come with those experiences and helps people find ways to cope and manage everyday demands.

Her style is direct and calm. She encourages clients to set priorities and try short experiments between sessions so progress can be measured. Shayna works in English and practices in California as an LPCC.

To begin, prospective clients fill out a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to therapist availability. The practice uses a subscription model for sessions that can be canceled at any time, and cost varies by location and therapist availability.

How evidence-based techniques guide online work

Shayna uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear skills and measurable change. One common approach emphasizes improving communication and trust so people can address relationship conflicts more directly and with less reactivity. Another approach centers on mood and stress management by teaching practical coping tools, emotion regulation skills, and small behavioral changes that reduce anxiety and depression symptoms.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which techniques fit their goals, needs, and comfort level. That planning can change as progress is made, and adjustments are normal and expected.

If you prefer online sessions, confirm available formats before booking since session options are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy day, reduce time spent traveling to appointments, and allow shorter check-ins when a quick update is needed. It can also help people keep continuity of care during life transitions. Speak with the intake process to learn the exact session options and schedule that best match your routine.
