About Shaun
Shaun Henry is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in New York with 19 years of experience. He helps people dealing with relationship issues, low self-esteem, career stress, motivation, and adapting to life changes. Sessions focus on clear, practical steps clients can use between meetings.
In session he favors straightforward conversation paired with structured methods. He uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to notice and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. He also draws on client-centered listening to clarify goals and mindfulness techniques to manage stress and focus attention.
Shaun pays attention to relationship patterns and communication problems. He works with people facing divorce and separation, infidelity, fatherhood concerns, and the stresses caregivers face. He also addresses workplace issues, isolation and loneliness, and concerns tied to sexuality, kink, and non-monogamous relationships.
Over nearly two decades he has worked with veterans and people from diverse cultural backgrounds. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused methods appear in brief, goal-oriented work when clients want concrete next steps. Psychodynamic ideas inform discussions about longer-standing patterns that repeat across relationships.
People can expect direct feedback and collaboratively set goals. Shaun will outline practical homework and simple experiments to try between sessions. To begin, prospective clients use the site process to match and schedule an initial appointment.
How his approaches translate to online work
Shaun uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and test different responses. CBT sessions are practical and often involve short exercises and homework to change habits or reduce anxiety. He also uses client-centered methods that focus on listening and clarifying a person’s goals, which helps shape a clear plan for what to work on next. Mindfulness techniques appear in-session as brief attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus. These are useful for stress, sleep disruption, and managing strong emotions. Shaun blends these approaches so conversations stay grounded in specific steps rather than abstract ideas. Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. He will talk with the client about goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust based on what works. That means early sessions often include practical experiments and a review of how those exercises felt and what changed. The biography does not specify which online formats are offered, so confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. Discussing preferences up front helps shape session length and focus so therapy can fit into everyday life.Areas of expertise
