About Shawn

Shawn Blakley is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Wisconsin with 30 years of professional experience. He focuses on helping adults cope with stress and anxiety, work through addictions, and navigate relationship challenges, while also supporting those managing depression, grief, anger, and self-esteem concerns. His practice includes attention to codependency, drug and alcohol addiction, men's issues, mood disorders, and process addictions such as porn, exercise, and gambling.

Shawn emphasizes an open, nonjudgmental environment where thoughts and feelings can be expressed honestly. He draws on client-centered principles to listen actively and prioritize each person's goals, and he uses cognitive-behavioral techniques to help individuals identify patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to distress. Together with clients he develops practical strategies tailored to their needs and circumstances.

Taking the first step toward therapy often requires courage, and Shawn acknowledges that effort while offering steady support as clients begin their work. He aims to guide people through change at a pace that feels manageable, helping them build skills for long-term wellbeing.

Client-Centered and CBT Approaches for Online Care

Shawn Blakley draws from client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to provide practical online support. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening deeply and creating a compassionate space in which the person sets the direction and pace of work - it is useful for building self-understanding, improving relationships, and addressing issues like grief and self-esteem. CBT involves identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and practicing concrete skills to change them - it is effective for managing anxiety, mood concerns, and many forms of addiction.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Shawn will work collaboratively with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences, and then tailor techniques from these approaches to find the best fit. That collaboration helps ensure the work feels relevant and achievable.

Online therapy with Shawn is offered by a licensed professional through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options provide flexible scheduling, easier access from home or other locations, and multiple ways to engage so clients can choose the format that fits their life and comfort level.
