About Shawnean

Shawnean Callihan is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Missouri with 29 years of clinical experience. She focuses on supporting people through complex life transitions and emotional challenges, offering guidance for stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, grief, and relationship or family concerns.

Background and approach

Her long practice has included work with people navigating parenting difficulties, intimacy-related issues, sleep problems, anger, low self-esteem, career shifts, and coping with major life changes. Shawnean draws on a compassionate, client-centered stance that emphasizes empowerment and practical problem solving.

She blends client-centered listening with evidence-informed strategies to address communication problems, impulsivity, isolation, and trauma-related symptoms. Additional attention is given to areas such as autism and Asperger syndrome, blended family issues, codependency, forgiveness, postpartum depression, and other focused concerns.

Sessions are aimed at helping clients develop healthier coping skills, clearer communication, and gradual, sustainable change with professional support.

Approaches that guide online work and progress

Shawnean uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a supportive space where the client's perspective and goals guide the process; this approach helps people feel heard and encourages personal insight and self-directed growth. She also integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and building practical skills to manage anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and impulsivity.

Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist works with each person to understand their concerns, preferences, and goals, then adjusts methods as needed so therapy remains relevant and focused on achievable steps toward improvement.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain consistency in care, fit sessions into busy lives, and use therapy tools between meetings with support from a licensed professional.
