About Shawntrell

Shawntrell Moore is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor who focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, addiction, relationship strain, family challenges, and trauma. He writes and speaks plainly in sessions, helping parents and family members identify practical steps to reduce conflict and restore routine. He teaches clear coping skills and helps clients connect daily choices to long-term goals.

Moore listens for how behaviors collide with values and works with clients to untangle those patterns.

Background and approach

He builds simple, realistic plans that fit each person’s life. When a family member needs guidance supporting someone in recovery, he offers practical strategies they can use right away. He holds a master’s degree from the University of Illinois and has 17 years of experience in counseling.

His license is LCPC in Illinois. He also has training in alcohol and drug counseling and supports people through early recovery and substance use concerns. His work draws on trauma-informed care, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy.

In sessions he combines insight with hands-on skills practice. This mix helps clients manage symptoms and improve everyday functioning. Sessions are offered in English and available through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging.

The approach is practical and goal-focused, aimed at helping families and individuals reduce harm, strengthen coping, and move toward stability.

Evidence-based approaches for online family and recovery work

Shawntrell uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors that increase stress or fuel addiction. CBT breaks problems into manageable steps and teaches practical skills for anxiety, cravings, and daily routines.

He also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy, which focuses on emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. DBT skills can be useful for managing intense feelings and improving interactions within families.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will review a client’s needs, goals, and preferences and recommend techniques to try together. Plans are adjusted over time based on what works for the person and their family.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy households. Video calls allow face-to-face conversations from home, phone sessions fit short windows, and live chat or text messaging provide brief check-ins and support between sessions. These options make it easier to keep momentum while balancing family responsibilities and recovery tasks.
