About Sean

Sean Horsley is a Utah LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) with 23 years of clinical experience. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and family concerns, parenting strain, addiction, sleeping problems, anger, ADHD, and other life changes. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish. He also supports people navigating multicultural issues and LGBTQ concerns.

Sean uses straightforward, skills-based work. He focuses on helping people learn tools they can use day to day. Sessions often cover practical ways to manage strong feelings, improve communication, and cope with chronic pain or health challenges.

He draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing to untangle thinking patterns and strengthen motivation for change. Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy provide techniques for emotional regulation and staying present during stress. Solution-Focused Therapy is used when clients want brief, goal-directed plans.

His approach is active and collaborative. He talks through specific problems, then practices skills in-session. Homework and simple experiments between meetings are common. This helps people test what works in real life and adjust as needed.

Sean has worked with individuals, couples, and families across many settings over two decades. That background informs how he helps clients handle relationship strains, blended family issues, caregiver stress, and end-of-life concerns. He also addresses trauma, domestic violence aftermath, guilt, and isolation.

People looking for pragmatic support with anger, communication, or coping with major life changes will find a steady, skills-focused clinician. To start, confirm current session options and language preferences when scheduling.

How sessions work

Therapeutic approaches and working online

Sean commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in online work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing them with real-life experiments, which can reduce worry, depression, and reactive anger. DBT provides concrete emotion regulation skills and distress-tolerance techniques for managing intense feelings and improving interpersonal effectiveness.

He also draws on Mindfulness Therapy to teach simple, present-moment practices that lower reactivity and increase focus. Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk through goals and preferences, try techniques in sessions, and adjust the plan based on what helps the client make steady progress.

Confirm the session formats available before booking so you know how meetings are run. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. They also make it possible to keep momentum between appointments and practice new skills in day-to-day settings. Ask about language options and scheduling when you set up the first session.
