He can also address specific problems such as panic attacks, the effects of narcissistic relationships, divorce and separation, pregnancy and childbirth stress, and workplace challenges.

How CBT, ACT, and Attachment Work Online
Shawn integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and attachment-based ideas to address clear goals. CBT involves identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and panic. ACT focuses on clarifying values and learning to accept difficult thoughts while taking committed action toward what matters. Attachment-based work looks at patterns people form in close relationships and how those patterns affect communication and trust.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Shawn will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit best based on goals, practical needs, and what the person prefers. That collaboration helps shape the focus and pacing of sessions so they feel manageable.
