About Shawntrell
Shawntrell Moore is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) practicing in Illinois with 17 years of experience. He works with adults who face stress, anxiety, addiction, relationship strain, family challenges, and trauma and abuse. He also notes experience with blended family issues, attachment concerns, adoption and foster care questions, and separation or divorce-related strain.
He helps people name unhelpful patterns and links their behaviors to their values. Sessions focus on practical skills such as coping strategies, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. He also offers recovery coaching alongside individual counseling for people working on substance use and early recovery.
When a loved one is struggling, he provides guidance and practical steps for supporters. That work centers on setting boundaries, offering consistent support, and preserving personal wellbeing while helping someone else.
His approach draws on trauma-informed care and evidence-based techniques. He uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address unhelpful thoughts and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotion regulation. Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused techniques shape short-term planning and goal setting.
Sessions aim to create clear, achievable plans rather than abstract goals. Shawntrell works with clients to break larger problems into steps they can try between meetings. He asks about what matters to each person and adjusts practical tools to those priorities.
How his approaches translate to online sessions
Shawntrell integrates several evidence-informed methods into practical work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors; it helps with anxiety, stress, and patterns that fuel substance use. Dialectical Behavior Therapy contributes concrete emotion-regulation and distress-tolerance skills that people can practice between meetings to manage strong feelings.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. He collaborates with each person to match methods to their goals, needs, and what has or hasn’t helped before. That means trying tools, reviewing what works, and adjusting plans together rather than using a single fixed model.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter focused check-ins when time is limited, and remove travel time so people can use breaks or lunch hours for meetings. For work with addiction, recovery coaching can be scheduled to support short-term goals and early recovery routines. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and skill practice to an online meeting so people leave with steps to try between sessions.
