About Shawn
Shawn Crossley is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with 23 years of experience. He works with adults on stress, anxiety, anger, self-esteem, depression, and life changes, and addresses related concerns like addictions, trauma, grief, and relationship difficulties.
Shawn uses a person-centered approach that keeps the client's perspective central. He also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and solution-focused techniques to help people identify patterns and try practical changes. Sessions are presented as a collaborative effort rather than a lecture from the therapist.
In practice he focuses on concrete problems. That can mean spotting automatic thoughts that fuel anger or anxiety, experimenting with small behavior changes, or setting short-term goals to reduce daily friction. He describes therapy as a team process where the client and therapist work together on steps that feel manageable.
Shawn has worked across age groups during his career, including experience with family-based work and structural approaches over recent years. He brings that background when clients need help sorting communication problems, blended family issues, or parenting strain.
People who come for help with anger often want better ways to speak up, reduce snapping at loved ones, or stop resentment from building. Shawn focuses on clear, practical strategies and steady collaboration to address those everyday struggles.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and working online
Client-centered therapy focuses on the client's perspective and goals. It means the therapist listens closely, reflects what matters to the person, and supports decisions the client wants to try. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns; it suits worries, anger, and mood concerns. Solution-focused therapy concentrates on short-term, concrete goals and steps you can try between sessions to reduce strain and test small changes.Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. Shawn will help figure out which approach or combination fits best based on the client's needs, goals, and preferences. The decision is collaborative and can change as progress is made.
