About Shawn
Shawn Moore is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in California with seven years of clinical experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and the strain of life changes. He also focuses on compassion fatigue and issues common in young adulthood such as transitions and identity questions.
Shawn frames therapy around the person's experience rather than labels. He treats clients as the experts on their own lives and helps them identify strengths they already have. Sessions are practical and direct, aimed at building skills for everyday problems like motivation, confidence, and mood regulation.
He draws from several approaches to match different needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to spot and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Client-Centered Therapy keeps the conversation focused on the client's perspective and priorities.
Shawn also uses elements of psychodynamic and existential thinking to look at longer-standing life patterns and meaning. Solution-Focused techniques help set clear, achievable goals for short-term changes. This mix lets him shift gears depending on what a person needs most.
People often come for help with workplace stress, social anxiety, communication problems, isolation, and caregiver strain. Shawn works in English and provides care within California. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How Shawn’s approaches work for remote sessions
Shawn commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as primary ways to work online. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on what the client wants to address and keeps the therapist’s role responsive to the client’s needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at how thoughts and behaviors affect mood and teaches practical skills for managing anxiety and depression.He also draws on Solution-Focused ideas to set short-term goals and on existential themes when questions about meaning and direction come up. Finding the best mix is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences and then try approaches that fit those needs.
The practical benefits of online work include being able to fit sessions into a busy schedule and reduce travel time. If you plan to book, confirm the current session options before scheduling so you know what formats are offered. Online sessions can make it easier to keep continuity of care while balancing school, work, and other commitments.
