About Shawn
Shawn Brisbane is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with 10 years of clinical experience. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, relationship strain, and codependency concerns. Shawn writes that he wants to help people who tried therapy before and felt let down.
In sessions he speaks plainly and listens for what matters most to each person. He uses approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). Shawn focuses on practical steps people can try between sessions as well as shifts in how they relate to themselves and others.
He aims to help clients handle everyday problems like sleep and eating struggles, anger, grief, and caregiver stress. He also works with issues tied to adoption and foster care, attachment difficulties, autism and Asperger syndrome, chronic illness and pain, and challenges around intimacy and communication.
Shawn emphasizes respectful, sensitive conversation and collaborates with clients to shape therapy around their goals. He encourages people who have hesitated or had poor past experiences to try a different way of working together.

How sessions work
How Shawn’s approaches work in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on identifying what matters to a person and taking small actions toward those values while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings. It is often used for anxiety, stress, and problems that keep people stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people notice unhelpful thinking patterns and test new behaviors to reduce symptoms like low mood, worry, and disrupted sleep. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Shawn will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and help choose methods that fit. That decision happens together and can change as therapy moves forward. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so people can use breaks from work or caregiving more easily. Licensed professionals often adapt exercises, worksheets, and behavior experiments so they work across different session types, and Shawn uses practical tasks between meetings to keep progress steady.Areas of focus
