Shawn Crossley , LPC

Shawn Crossley is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) with extensive experience working with children, teens, and adults in the mental health field. Over the years he has developed a strong background in family structural therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy, and for more than nine years he has worked as a Family Base therapist focused on helping families reorganize patterns and improve functioning.

Shawn adopts a person-centered, solution-focused approach that emphasizes collaboration and practical strategies. He views therapy as a team process and partners with clients to identify goals, build on strengths, and create workable steps toward change. His practice addresses a wide range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, depression, anger, relationship and family issues, trauma and abuse, addictions, grief, sleep problems, parenting and career challenges, mood and attention disorders, and intimacy-related matters.

Committed to helping people become their best selves, Shawn combines structured interventions like CBT with compassionate, client-focused work. He aims to meet each person where they are and tailor treatment to individual needs, preferences, and life circumstances while maintaining a collaborative and goal-oriented therapeutic relationship.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Shawn integrates client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to guide his online work. Client-centered therapy focuses on creating a supportive, nonjudgmental space where the client’s priorities lead the conversation - it helps people explore their values, build self-understanding, and strengthen motivation for change. Cognitive behavioral therapy teaches practical skills to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, and it is often effective for anxiety, depression, stress, and many everyday challenges.

Shawn also uses solution-focused techniques to help clients set clear, attainable goals and identify small steps that produce visible progress. He approaches treatment collaboratively, working with each client to determine which combination of methods fits their needs, goals, and preferences so the plan evolves together over time.

Online therapy with Shawn is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for people with busy schedules, caregiving responsibilities, or limited local options. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care, try different communication styles, and access licensed professionals from a range of settings, while keeping the focus on practical, goal-oriented work.
