About Shawn

Shawn Moore is a licensed marriage and family therapist who blends cognitive behavioral techniques with client-centered care to help people manage stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, and depression.

Background and approach

With seven years of clinical experience in California, he emphasizes the client as the expert in their own life and works collaboratively to strengthen existing resources and develop practical skills for coping with change and day-to-day challenges.

His practice addresses a broad range of concerns including compassion fatigue, workplace stress, social anxiety and phobia, isolation, communication difficulties, and caregiver strain. Shawn draws from psychodynamic and existential perspectives when exploring personal meaning and long-standing patterns, while also using solution-focused strategies to set achievable goals and foster motivation.

He aims to create a respectful, supportive environment where clients can build confidence and move toward a more satisfying life. Shawn welcomes English-speaking adults in California and offers multiple online session formats to accommodate different needs.

He encourages those ready to start to take the first step, recognizing that deciding to seek help takes courage and that change often begins with a single conversation.

Combining evidence-based approaches with online flexibility



Shawn commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thoughts and develop practical strategies for managing anxiety, low mood, and stress. He also employs client-centered principles that prioritize the client’s perspective, offering empathy and support while helping people access their own strengths and goals. When useful, he integrates solution-focused techniques to set concrete steps and measure progress over time.

Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. Shawn works with each person to consider their needs, goals, and preferences and adjusts methods as therapy progresses to ensure the plan fits the individual rather than forcing a single model on everyone.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more accessible and adaptable to different schedules. These options allow clients to continue care from home or work, fit sessions into busy lives, and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable while working toward their goals.
