About Shawn
Prof. Shawn Young is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) in New Hampshire and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Maine with 15 years of experience. He has helped people with depression, anxiety, relationship concerns, parenting questions, career stress, OCD, and ADHD. He has also worked in higher education for over a decade and served in the Air Force, including time overseas.
He uses everyday conversation and practical steps in sessions. He listens for what matters most and helps people set small, doable goals. Sessions are interactive and focused on what the client wants to change in daily life.
His approach draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, client-centered methods, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, narrative ideas, and psychodynamic perspectives. That mix is used to address problems like grief, trauma, addiction, sleep and eating disruptions, and challenges with intimacy and self-esteem.
Young has spent many years working with students, faculty, and administrators, so he is familiar with academic pressure and workplace stress. He also brings experience from military service to issues that can affect veterans and first responders.
People who find clear, straightforward help useful may connect with his style. He asks about a person’s goals and practical constraints. From there he and the client plan steps they can try between sessions.
BHow sessions work
Approaches used online and how they help
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and values, then taking action toward what matters. It can help with anxiety, depression, and decisions about life direction. Client-Centered Therapy centers on clear listening and responding to the person’s concerns without judgment, which helps when someone needs practical support and reflection.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist and client review goals, preferences, and daily constraints together. They try methods that seem likely to fit and adjust them based on what helps most in real life.
The original biography does not specify which session formats are offered online, so confirm current options before booking. Many people use remote sessions to fit therapy into a busy week, handle academic or work schedules, and keep progress going between appointments. Online work can make shorter check-ins easier and reduce travel time so therapy fits into everyday routines.
