About Shawn
LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) in Pennsylvania with 23 years of experience. Shawn Crossley focuses on stress, anxiety, anger, self-esteem, depression, coping with life changes, addictions, LGBT concerns, relationship and family issues, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy problems, sleep difficulties, parenting, career questions, bipolar concerns, coaching needs, compassion fatigue, and ADHD.
Shawn uses a person-centered approach and solution-focused strategies alongside cognitive behavioral therapy and trauma-focused work. Sessions emphasize practical steps and clear goals. He treats therapy as a collaborative team process and works with clients to set the pace and focus of work.
In sessions Shawn listens for what is most urgent and then builds short-term goals. He uses CBT techniques to spot thought patterns and try new behaviors. Solution-focused techniques help clients identify small changes that produce noticeable results.
When trauma or abuse is part of a client's history, Trauma-Focused Therapy methods are used to reduce reminders and develop coping skills. Shawn also draws on family-structured ideas when family dynamics affect individual wellbeing, helping people sort communication and role issues.
Clients can expect direct conversation, practical tools, and regular check-ins on progress. Shawn has spent over two decades in the field and brings that experience to routine clinical decisions and planning.

How his approaches are used in online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and helping the client set the agenda. It’s about understanding a person’s experience and letting that guide what to work on next. This approach helps when someone needs space to clarify feelings and priorities.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. In practice this means identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety, depression, or anger. CBT is useful for stress, mood disorders, and many day-to-day problems.
Solution-Focused Therapy targets short-term, achievable changes. Sessions often start by naming one small, concrete step the client can try before the next meeting. This approach suits people who want fast, practical progress on specific issues.
Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will review needs, goals, and preferences, and suggest which methods to try first. Clients and therapist regularly check what’s working and adjust the plan together.
Practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a busy schedule and easier attendance when travel is difficult. The biography does not list which session formats are offered, so confirm the available options before booking. Online work can allow shorter check-ins or longer focused sessions depending on what the client and therapist agree will be most useful.
