About Shawn
Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) in Maryland with 31 years of experience, Shawn Ashworth focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, anger, self-esteem, and ADHD. She also addresses body image, commitment issues, communication problems, divorce and separation, domestic violence, forgiveness, guilt and shame, impulsivity, isolation and loneliness, life purpose, self-love, social anxiety and phobia, and women's issues. Shawn uses practical methods to help people manage difficult feelings and make clearer decisions.
Shawn favors a collaborative, solution-focused style. She helps people identify strengths, set clear goals, and try concrete strategies that they can use between sessions. Sessions tend to center on what is happening now and what steps a person feels able to take next.
Her work draws on Solution-Focused Therapy, cognitive behavioral approaches, and Family Systems ideas. Solution-Focused work narrows in on goals and the small changes that move someone forward. Cognitive behavioral techniques look at thoughts and behaviors and test new ways of coping. Family Systems thinking pays attention to how relationships and roles affect a person's problems.
Shawn frames change as practical work. She listens, asks focused questions, and suggests exercises or experiments people can try. Progress is tracked by whether the person notices clearer thinking, fewer intense reactions, or better communication with others.

How her approaches translate to online work
Shawn uses Solution-Focused, cognitive behavioral, and Family Systems ideas in her work. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on goals and small, practical steps that can be tried between sessions. It helps when someone wants quick, observable changes in routines or reactions.Cognitive behavioral techniques examine thoughts and behaviors and introduce experiments to test different responses. These methods are useful for anxiety, mood shifts, and patterns that keep repeating. Family Systems ideas look at relationship roles and interaction patterns to find changes that affect how people relate to one another.
Choosing the best approach is part of the early work. Shawn collaborates with each person to weigh their needs, goals, and preferences and then tries strategies that fit. That collaborative process can include trying different techniques and checking what helps most.
The biography does not list which session formats are offered. Confirm current session options before booking. Many clients find online sessions help fit therapy into a busy life, such as fitting a shorter check-in during a break, avoiding travel time, or choosing a format that suits their bandwidth or comfort with video. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, homework, and communication to work in remote sessions while tracking progress over time.
