About Seán
LCSW in California with 26 years of experience, Seán Harrington helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and parenting and family concerns. He also works with issues around addictions, grief, intimacy, career strain, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. Sessions focus on practical steps and problem-solving rather than only talking about feelings. Seán uses cognitive and goal-oriented methods to help clients move forward.
In sessions he uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to notice patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going. He applies Motivational Interviewing to clarify what someone really wants to change and to strengthen their own reasons for doing so. Solution-Focused Therapy is used to identify small, concrete steps that can show progress quickly.
Seán tends to keep sessions focused and action-oriented. He and the person in therapy set clear goals and check progress regularly. Conversations are straightforward and aim to produce usable coping tools for day-to-day life.
Across his career he has worked with a broad range of concerns connected to family of origin, adoption and foster care, caregiver stress, first responder issues, and workplace problems. He also addresses struggles like guilt, shame, infidelity, loneliness, and issues faced by young adults and men.
