More about Shawna

  • 8 years' experience
  • Female
  • LPC

Hello & welcome to my page. My name is Shawna Morris, I have been a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in the state of Oklahoma since 2016. I hold a Master of Science Degree in Marriage and Family Counseling, and I have 24 years of work related experience in behavioral health and substance abuse services, with a profound commitment to mental health and well-being. I bring compassion and empathy to every counseling session, and I treat this work as a sacred privilege. As a licensed professional, I adhere to the highest ethical standards, ensuring confidentiality and respect for every individual as they embark on a path to healing and self-discovery, where compassionate guidance meets professional expertise.

I believe in creating a safe space for individuals. One that is nonjudgemental and objective, where they can explore their own unique challenges by engaging in evidence-based practices with tailored counseling approaches to meet their specific needs. This aids in fostering a collaborative and empowering therapeutic journey.

My therapeutic approach consists of different modalities and techniques with an emphasis on integrating the mind, body and soul, utilizing techniques from transpersonal psychotherapy. I also believe creativity to be a powerful component in the therapeutic healing process, and I like to combine art therapy with other reliable and evidence-based methods, including client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, solution-focused therapy, family systems therapy, emotion focused therapy, and utilizing the techniques from the dialectical behavioral therapy model, such as mindfulness and emotion regulation. I have listed below the main problematic issues I have specialized in, whereby having the most experience in these specific areas as I have worked with clients.

• Self-esteem issues related to low self-confidence and lack of self-awareness

• Codependency

• Stress & anxiety related issues

• Depression

• Adult issues related to childhood trauma

• Family conflict, issues related to interpersonal relationships

• Divorce/separation

• Grief, loss, and issues related to secondary losses and how to cope with life changes

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.

Shawna is amazing! She listens to all my gripes and validates my feelings when I question them myself. She allows me to share what I want and is nonjudgmental in our sessions. She also provides a variety of informational pages and worksheets to help work through your current problems. I would recommend her to anyone looking to start therapy!

Every time these review prompts come up I never quite know what to say. All I can say is that my therapist, Shawna Morris, knows me better than people that have known me for 20 years. This woman has helped me learn myself in more ways than I can count And is rooting for me every day. She is an absolute gem. I am beyond grateful to have found her and have her in my life. She’s my big sister, confident, dear friend, sister in shenanigans, shoulder to cry on, caring ear that listens… She’s just so much to me. She’s been my therapist now, coming up on one year, and I can’t believe how much she has helped me recognize my situations and helped me to continue moving through them in a positive manner that is good for my mental and physical and emotional well-being. She’s the best, love her dearly.

I think Shawna is wonderful. She is very easy to speak with and I feel safe with her. I appreciate that she points things out to me in a kind and gentle way. And, the reason she is not quite able to understand my reason for being here is because I am not either.

Shawna has gone above and beyond what I thought when I signed up for a therapy subscription.

Reviewed January 2024

This has been my first deep, thought provoking experience with therapy. Others in the past focused on the problem at hand and nothing more. Shawna has given me the information, guidance and support that has allowed me to truly push myself to know myself better and I am grateful for being connected with her.

Reviewed December 2023

Shawna has been a godsend. I have done therapy in the past and it hasn’t worked out very well. I was very skeptical when I signed up to do this, but I was matched perfectly as far as I’m concerned. She knows this as we have talked about it. She is a wonderful person who is very open and honest, and I feel very safe talking to her. She understands me very well and is extremely supportive. If I had to rate her, it would be 11 out of 10. I hold her and my highest regards.

I was going through a really rough patch in my life and thought, "Well, it's not like therapy can make it any worse." I've heard the stories of people having to shop for therapists, but my first therapist was Shawna and she was exactly who I needed. She had the life experience to know what was going on, the patience to put up with me and my fatalism, and the skills to help pull me through to see better days and to help me be more optimistic about the future. There is not a better therapist or a better person than Shawna Morris!

My therapist, Shawna is such a strong support to me. I don’t have a large network of family or friends and I wouldn’t share my troubles with them if I did. Having come to Betterhelp and connecting with Shawna has been such an enhancement to my life and mental health. Knowing I have someone to reach out to and who listens and offers real solutions is invaluable. I’ve also been able to use the journaling feature which really does help to get the feelings out when I’m overwhelmed. Very grateful.
