About Sean
Sean Horsley is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Utah with 23 years of experience. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and family concerns, and codependency-related patterns. He also supports people dealing with addictions, ADHD, chronic illness, caregiving stress, and issues tied to identity and intimacy.
Sean uses practical skills and clear steps in sessions. He draws on cognitive behavioral work to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. He blends techniques from dialectical behavior therapy for emotion regulation and from mindfulness to build calmer attention. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques help set doable goals and notice progress.
Sessions are conversational and focused on learning skills that can be used between meetings. He offers individual and couple sessions and has experience addressing communication problems, blended family concerns, and caregiver strain. He also works with people coping with end-of-life matters and complicated grief.
Sean speaks English and Spanish. His practice approach emphasizes specific tools - breathing and grounding practices, thought records, behavior experiments, and short-term goal planning. He encourages small experiments to test new ways of relating, setting boundaries, and managing cravings or overwhelming moods.
People meet him to get straightforward techniques and a plan they can follow. He helps clients build habits that reduce reactivity and increase clarity about what they want. If someone needs help choosing a first step, he guides them toward manageable changes and tracks progress over time.
How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches shape online sessions
Sean commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy in his work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety, depression, or relationship distress. DBT supplies concrete skills for managing intense emotions, improving interpersonal effectiveness, and tolerating distress without acting impulsively.He also integrates mindfulness practices to help people notice reactions and slow down before responding. These approaches are used to set short-term goals and to build practical tools clients can use between meetings. Choosing the best mix is a collaborative process - the therapist and client review goals, try techniques, and adjust based on what helps most.
Confirm the available session formats before booking so you know which online options are offered. Online sessions can make fitting therapy into a busy life easier - they can save travel time, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and make it possible to continue work while managing caregiving or health constraints. Therapists help plan which approaches will work with the session rhythm you prefer and what homework or skills practice makes sense for everyday life.
