Sean O'Hara is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Maine who focuses on concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and family challenges, addiction, ADHD, and other life transitions.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Sean often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns that contribute to anxiety, depression, or problematic habits. CBT is practical and goal-oriented, often helpful for stress, mood symptoms, and impulsivity.

He also integrates Mindfulness Therapy to cultivate present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity; this approach can support coping with grief, compassion fatigue, and life transitions by teaching techniques for grounding and emotional regulation.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey and is typically decided together. The therapist assesses a client's concerns, preferences, and goals and then recommends a combination of methods that feels like the best fit. This collaborative process allows adjustments over time as needs evolve.

Online therapy with Sean is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options can make it easier to access consistent support, accommodate busy routines, and continue care during transitions or when in-person visits are not practical.
