About Shawn
Shawn Moore is a licensed marriage and family therapist in California with seven years of clinical experience. He focuses on stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and coping with life changes, and aims to make the first steps toward change feel manageable and clear.
Background and approach
Shawn works from a view that each person knows their own story best. He looks for strengths clients already have and helps them use those strengths when facing setbacks.
Sessions are straightforward and goal minded, and he emphasizes practical next steps you can try between meetings. He draws on several therapeutic methods to match what each person needs.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and shift behavior patterns. Client-Centered Therapy creates space for people to feel heard and to explore what matters most to them.
Solution-Focused work supports short-term goals and concrete change when life demands quick problem solving. Shawn also pays attention to patterns that come from early relationships and deeper meanings people give their experiences.
That perspective can help when someone feels stuck or is wrestling with identity, purpose, or recurring relationship habits. He often blends approaches so the work fits the person rather than forcing one method.
Therapy with Shawn is collaborative. He helps set clear goals, checks progress, and adapts approaches as needed.
Sessions move at a practical pace so people can see changes that matter in everyday life.
Blending practical approaches for online care
Shawn commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy in his online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and trying different behaviors to reduce anxiety or low mood. It is useful when someone wants step-by-step tools to change day-to-day reactions. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and understanding; it gives people space to name what matters and build confidence at their own pace.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Shawn works together with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and comfort level. He checks in regularly and adjusts the plan when something isn’t working, so the work stays practical and relevant to real life.
Online sessions come in several formats: video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video lets people read nonverbal cues and have more face-to-face interaction. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins, brief problem solving, or days when typing feels more convenient. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to keep momentum between meetings.
