About Shawn
Shawn Conn is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Kentucky with 14 years of clinical experience. He works with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, and people coping with major life changes. He speaks English and practices in Kentucky.
Shawn has provided care in schools and community settings since 2012. He has experience supporting people who have experienced homelessness, members of the LGBTQ community, veterans, and first responders, alongside working people feeling overwhelmed by daily life. He is comfortable seeing a wide age range.
His approach is practical and straightforward. He uses a mix of structured techniques and problem-focused conversations. Sessions usually focus on skills for managing strong feelings, planning next steps, and tackling immediate stressors.
Shawn lists evidence-based therapeutic techniques among his methods. He aims to help clients reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression, process trauma-related experiences, and build coping strategies for life transitions. He frames therapy as a collaborative process where the client sets goals.
In session he keeps the tone direct and nonjudgmental. He describes his role as guiding with maps rather than directing how people should live. If English is not your primary language, he recommends choosing a therapist who works in the language you prefer.
BHow sessions work
Online approaches and how they work with therapy
Shawn lists several evidence-based techniques he uses in practice. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors that keep symptoms going; it is often used for anxiety and depression. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) involves structured processing of distressing memories to reduce their intensity and is commonly used after trauma. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them while clarifying personal values to guide action.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Shawn collaborates with clients to decide which methods match their needs and goals. He will explain options, try approaches in session, and adjust plans based on what helps most.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific online or in-person options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people attend from different locations when that suits everyday life. Ask about session length and frequency during the intake so sessions fit work, family, and other commitments.
