About Shawn

Shawn Blakley is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Wisconsin with 30 years of experience. He focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, anger, and self esteem concerns. He also supports those dealing with addictions and relationship struggles. Shawn aims to make the first step feel manageable for someone who is unsure about therapy.

Shawn offers a straightforward approach in sessions. He creates a space where people can share thoughts and feelings without judgment. Conversations are practical and grounded in the client’s daily life. Sessions often focus on what is happening now and what can be tried between meetings.

He draws on Client-Centered Therapy to follow the person’s pace and priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is used to identify unhelpful thinking and try new behavior patterns. These methods are chosen to address stress, mood concerns, and addictive behaviors in direct ways.

Shawn has worked across many settings during his career and brings that experience to sessions in Wisconsin. He speaks English. He does not accept international clients. If a person is worried about taking the first step, Shawn emphasizes that signing up takes courage and he respects that decision.

How Shawn’s approaches shape online work

Shawn uses Client-Centered Therapy to follow each person’s pace and priorities. That approach focuses on listening, reflecting what the person says, and letting their goals lead the work. It is helpful for building trust and talking through feelings like grief or low self esteem.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is also part of his practice. CBT looks at patterns of thinking and behavior, and tries practical techniques to reduce anxiety or change habits tied to mood and addictions. It often includes specific exercises to try between sessions.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Shawn will discuss options and adapt methods to what a person needs and prefers. He encourages people to give feedback so the work stays useful and realistic.

The biography does not list which online session formats are offered, so confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove the time spent traveling to appointments. Licensed professionals can use a blend of listening, skill practice, and problem-solving in virtual sessions to address stress, mood, and addiction concerns without promising specific outcomes.
