About Sean
Sean O'Hara is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Maine and New York with five years of experience in mental health. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, life changes, relationship and family concerns, and codependency-related patterns. Sean also supports people coping with addictions, ADHD, and issues around intimacy and parenting.
Sean uses a person-centered, solution-focused way of working. Sessions focus on what matters to the client and practical steps that fit their life. He draws on cognitive behavioral strategies and mindfulness to help people notice patterns and try different responses.
His background includes an MSW from Fordham University and clinical work in both inpatient and outpatient mental health settings. That experience contributes to familiarity with mood disorders, grief, and complex care situations.
In a session Sean listens first, then helps map goals and small experiments to test new behaviors. He uses motivational interviewing techniques when people want to make a change but feel stuck. He also brings psychodynamic ideas into conversations about attachment and long-standing patterns.
People who find themselves putting others first, struggling to set boundaries, or feeling lost in relationships may find sessions useful for learning clearer limits and coping strategies. To get started clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
How therapy approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the client. It helps clarify goals and priorities by centering the conversation on the person's own concerns and values.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It offers concrete techniques to test unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors, which can help with anxiety, depression, and codependency patterns.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches noticing present-moment experience without judgment. It can help reduce reactivity and build steadier responses when relationships or stressors feel overwhelming.
Finding the best approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods to try based on needs, goals, and personal preference. That collaborative process may include adjusting techniques over time as progress becomes clearer.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people use techniques learned in sessions in real life between meetings.
