How his approaches translate to online work
Shawn often blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and narrative therapy in sessions. CBT focuses on identifying thought and behavior patterns and testing small, practical changes to reduce anxiety or depression. Narrative therapy helps people look at the stories they tell about themselves and consider new, more useful ways to understand events and relationships.He also uses client-centered principles that prioritize the person's goals and perspective. Finding the right approach is part of the process; Shawn collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their needs and preferences rather than imposing a single model.
