Sean listens and tries to help

Sean has been the ideal experience I have been looking for in my journey of self help and awareness. He listens and understands what my concerns are and how to best approach a solution that is right for me. He has helped me understand that there can be an answer for the emotions I am going through and that I am not the only one to feel them. His personable approach has made me feel at ease in sharing whatever is weighing on my mind. I would recommend him to anyone who is looking for a path forward.

Awareness. It is often what is missing when you are feeling overwhelmed, out of control, or trapped by negative patterns in your life.

I will work with you to help you grow your awareness, to understand the factors within yourself, others, and the world around you that are contributing to your unhelpful thoughts, feelings, and actions. By collaborating together to reveal these hidden factors, we will bring processes and tools into sessions that are useful for helping you to set goals that move you toward greater balance in your life.

In addition to my MS in Counseling from the University of North Texas, my earlier education obtaining my BA in Social Sciences from UNT strongly influenced my cultural and community focused approach with clients. I identify as an ally for communities who can sometimes have difficulty finding safe, non-judgmental therapeutic resources, such as those with concerns with LGBTQIA identity, sexual health, and alternative or ethical non-monogamous relationships.

As someone who has learned to achieve while living with ADHD, and who has long been a social ally against oppression, I can appreciate what it is to struggle in situations that seem stacked against you. In every relationship I strive to be a resource to the voiceless, the misunderstood, and anyone who might hesitate to get help out of fear of judgement.

Additional specialized skills I can bring into sessions when appropriate include meditation, dream analysis, creative art, transpersonal analysis, socratic dialogue, and positive habit reinforcement.

About online counseling

Affordable.: Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.: Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.: There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Sean listens and tries to help

Sean is amazing.

Sean is a solid 10/10, please give this man a raise.

Sean is such a delight to work with. He’s knowledgeable about a variety of topics as well as a great active listener. He offers practical solutions and gives great examples that are not only relatable, but also helpful when applying them to my own life. I also appreciate that Sean works with my schedule and that I can contact him via the app. Since working with Sean, I have seen a positive difference in my life. He has helped me see things I didn’t realize I was questioning. I appreciate his help.

Sean is kind, respectful, insightful, and more than willing and able to meet you where you are. I appreciate his candor and personality; he has a great sense of humor but is able to help me stay gently focused on my support needs.

Great counselor! Extremely professional, and challenging in the good ways!

Sean is great at listening. He’s respectful and genuine. He creates a safe, nonjudgmental space that makes the session more helpful. He’s also open to working with you which has been extremely helpful and encouraging.

He was very nice and always knew what to say.

I have enjoyed my journey with Sean and with BetterHelp immensely. I’m so happy I found this resource.

Sean just gets it. Me. I've never met with a counselor who is not afraid to speak up. Advise. Give constructive criticism.
