About Shawn

Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 14 years of experience, Shawn Mays helps adults and young adults address grief, depression, anxiety, parenting strain, ADHD, and big life changes. She uses client-centered methods alongside evidence-based tools to help people notice what’s not working and try new ways of coping.

Shawn meets people where they are and treats the client as the agent of change. She looks at how early attachment and family of origin patterns shape current relationships and reactions. This often guides what to focus on first in sessions.

She combines Client-Centered Therapy with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help reframe heavy or racing thoughts. Mindfulness techniques are used to slow down intense feelings. Solution-Focused Therapy is applied to build small, practical habits that fit daily life.

In sessions she typically explores grief and loss, stress, low self-esteem, and the aftermath of trauma and abuse. She also addresses workplace issues, isolation, caregiver stress, and questions about life purpose and self-love. Her approach balances listening with concrete strategies for managing symptoms and moving forward.

People who choose her can expect short-term skill work when needed and deeper attachment-focused exploration when that’s helpful. She accepts international clients and conducts work in English. Before booking, confirm the current session formats offered so they match your needs.

Approaches used in remote sessions

Shawn draws on Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in remote work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and making the client the expert on their life, which is useful for processing grief and attachment concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at thought patterns and behaviors and offers practical exercises to reduce anxiety and manage mood.

Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. She will discuss your goals and preferences, try methods that fit your needs, and adjust plans based on what helps most. This means some sessions may focus on skills while others explore deeper attachment patterns.

The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Many people find remote sessions help fit therapy into work or family schedules, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and make it easier to practice mindfulness exercises between meetings. Shawn frames online work around practical routines and strategies that can be used in everyday life rather than promising a particular session setup.
