Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Sean commonly integrates Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Mindfulness Therapy into his work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on building an accepting, empathetic relationship that helps people explore their own values and goals, and it often suits those navigating life changes, relationship concerns, or identity-related stress. CBT helps identify and shift unhelpful thought and behavior patterns, making it especially useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems. Mindfulness Therapy introduces present-focused awareness and gentle attention practices to reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation, which can support coping with grief, impulsivity, or chronic stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Sean works collaboratively with each person to determine the best fit based on their needs, goals, and preferences. As a licensed professional, he tailors methods and pacing so the work feels both practical and aligned with the client's priorities.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for scheduling around work, family, or other commitments. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care and to access support from home or while traveling, while allowing therapists to adapt techniques for each mode of communication.
