Approaches that guide online sessions

Shawn commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Narrative Therapy in his work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and offers practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. Narrative Therapy helps people reframe their life stories so painful events don't define them, useful for grief, shame, or relationship wounds.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Shawn will listen to your concerns and goals, then suggest methods that fit your needs. He treats this as a collaboration and adjusts methods as you try them and give feedback.
