About Shawntrell
Shawntrell Moore is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor who helps men find clearer ground when life feels overwhelming. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, relationship strain, family conflict, and trauma. Shawntrell aims to turn stuck reactions into practical steps toward better daily functioning and greater purpose.
He focuses on making therapy concrete and usable. Sessions often include noticing unhelpful thought patterns, practicing new coping skills, and setting small goals that lead to change. When addiction or early recovery is part of the picture, he offers recovery coaching alongside counseling to support early practical steps and longer term growth.
Shawntrell draws on trauma-informed care and several evidence-based methods. He uses techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address thinking patterns and from Dialectical Behavior Therapy to build emotional regulation skills. Motivational Interviewing helps people find internal reasons to change, and Solution-Focused Therapy keeps work goal-oriented and action-based.
He also supports family members and loved ones who need strategies to better support someone who is struggling. That work centers on communication skills, boundaries, and realistic plans for helping without taking on another person’s recovery.
Shawntrell holds a Master’s degree from the University of Illinois and brings 17 years of clinical experience in Illinois practice. Sessions are conducted in English and he does not work with international clients. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to therapist availability.
How evidence-based methods translate to online work
Shawntrell draws on clear, evidence-based techniques that map well to online conversations. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; it helps with anxiety, low mood, and patterns that reinforce stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy provides practical skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and improving communication when feelings get intense. Motivational Interviewing helps people find internal motivation to change, which is useful for work on addiction and early recovery.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods to emphasize based on goals, preferences, and what shows early progress. That decision is revisited as needed so work remains practical and focused on day-to-day change.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins during a work break. It also supports continuity of care during transitions in routines. Licensed professionals adapt these approaches to an online setting so clients can practice skills and track progress between sessions.
