About Shawn

Her training includes a master’s in Counseling and a doctorate in Counseling Education, which inform a structured, evidence-informed approach to care.

Her therapeutic style emphasizes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused methods, using psychoeducation to teach tools for emotion regulation, problem solving, and healthier relational patterns. She has worked across many areas including grief, addiction, intimacy and sexual concerns, parenting and family dynamics, career issues, and ADHD.

Dr. Hysten-Williams aims to create an inclusive, empathetic space where clients can explore challenges and develop practical plans for change.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Dr. Hysten-Williams frequently uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. This approach is often helpful for anxiety, depression, stress, and many practical life challenges.

She also integrates Solution-Focused Therapy, a short-term, goal-centered method that helps clients build on their strengths and identify concrete steps toward preferred outcomes. This approach is useful for clients seeking clear, actionable progress on relationships, career issues, and coping with life changes.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each client to assess needs, set goals, and adjust methods based on progress and preferences so treatment fits the individual rather than forcing a single model.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which offer flexible ways to engage in care around work and family schedules. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of treatment, practice skills between sessions, and access support from licensed professionals without travel time.
