Background and approach
He works to connect behaviors to values, and then builds a simple plan to change what isn’t working. Sessions commonly include skill building for coping, tools to manage difficult thoughts, and ways to reduce relapse risk for those in recovery. He uses trauma-informed care along with approaches that focus on thinking patterns, emotional regulation, and motivation to change.
Shawntrell blends practical methods so people leave with specific steps they can try between sessions. He also offers recovery coaching alongside counseling when that fits a person’s goals. Shawntrell earned a master’s degree from the University of Illinois and holds an Illinois Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor credential.
He practices in Illinois and conducts sessions in English. He has worked in the field for nearly two decades and draws on that experience when helping people set realistic goals. People who reach out can expect direct talk and clear strategies rather than vague suggestions.
Shawntrell aims to make therapy useful and manageable, with tools that can be practiced day to day. His approach centers on what a person wants their life to look like, then maps steps to get there.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Shawntrell commonly draws from trauma-informed care, which recognizes how past hurt affects current feelings and behaviors and focuses on gentle, stabilizing strategies to reduce overwhelm. This approach helps people cope with the lingering effects of abuse, loss, or complex stressors.He also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT offers specific exercises and experiments that people can practice between sessions to reduce anxiety and manage cravings in recovery.
Finding the right approach is a team effort. Shawntrell will work with each person to test methods, adjust what isn’t working, and choose tools that match their goals and day-to-day life. The plan is collaborative and changes as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexibility that fits many schedules. Video calls let people work face to face when that is helpful, phone sessions reduce bandwidth needs, live chat can support brief check-ins, and text-based messaging makes it easier to keep momentum between appointments. These options help people maintain consistent work on stress, anxiety, or early recovery while balancing other responsibilities.
