About Shawn

Shawn Crossley is an LPC with 23 years of clinical experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship concerns, trauma, and a wide range of mood and life challenges.

Background and approach

He approaches work from a person-centered perspective that prioritizes each individual's goals and strengths while drawing on cognitive behavioral tools to address thinking patterns and behaviors that contribute to ongoing distress. Shawn blends solution-focused strategies with trauma-informed techniques to create practical, goal-oriented plans that move clients toward measurable change.

He emphasizes collaboration and sees therapy as a team effort, working with clients to identify small, doable steps that build confidence and skills. His experience includes supporting clients through grief, addiction-related issues, intimacy and communication problems, career concerns, and mood disorders.

Based in Pennsylvania, Shawn brings a calm, direct style and a commitment to helping people discover their best functioning self. He uses a flexible mix of approaches tailored to each person's needs, drawing on his long-term experience to adapt methods that fit real-life schedules and goals.

Approaches That Translate Well to Online Therapy

Shawn often integrates cognitive behavioral therapy and solution-focused therapy in online work. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps people identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors through structured exercises and practical skill-building, which can be practiced between sessions to reduce anxiety, depression, and impulsivity. Solution-focused therapy emphasizes clear, achievable goals and small steps toward change, making it easy to track progress in remote sessions and focus on immediate problems and strengths.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Shawn works with clients to explore which methods align with their needs, preferences, and goals, and adjusts the plan as progress is made. Clients are invited to share feedback so the work stays relevant and effective for their situation.

Online sessions offer practical flexibility by allowing video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, maintain continuity through transitions, and access support from home or work while using approaches that emphasize concrete tools, skills practice, and measurable steps toward improvement.
