    About Shaun

    Shaun Henry is a licensed clinical social worker with 19 years of experience based in New York. He focuses on relationship concerns, self esteem, motivation, career challenges, and coping with life changes. Shaun aims to meet people where they are and to work alongside them toward clearer goals and better day-to-day functioning.

    He approaches conversations with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. Sessions are shaped around each person's needs instead of a one-size-fits-all plan. Shaun uses a mix of practical talking, problem-solving, and reflection to help people clarify what matters most to them.

    Motivational Interviewing is one tool he uses to help people find their own reasons to change and to build momentum. He also draws on client-centered listening to make sure the conversation feels grounded in each person's experience. Cognitive Behavioral techniques are used when people want clear steps to adjust thoughts and behaviors that get in the way.

    Shaun has worked across many concerns that often overlap, such as communication problems, infidelity, divorce and separation, and workplace stress. He also supports people navigating sexuality, kink and alternative sex culture, polyamory or non-monogamous relationships, and multicultural issues.

    People who reach out can expect straightforward conversation, practical options, and a focus on small, doable steps. Shaun invites people to take the next step toward change at a pace that feels manageable.

  2. How Shauns Approaches Translate to Online Work

    Shaun often combines Motivational Interviewing with client-centered listening to help people find inner reasons to change and to feel heard. Motivational Interviewing focuses on asking open questions, reflecting back what someone says, and helping them notice their own motives for change. Client-centered work emphasizes empathy and following the person's lead in session.

    He also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy when people want concrete strategies to shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT emphasizes identifying patterns, testing beliefs, and practicing new skills between meetings to see real progress.

    Choosing an approach is a team effort. Shaun will talk with you about your goals and try different methods to see what fits best. That collaborative process helps shape session focus and the kinds of homework or exercises that might be useful.

    If you are considering online sessions, confirm current session formats before booking because the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and offer ways to keep progress going between appointments. Licensed professionals can adapt these approaches to remote conversation while keeping sessions practical and goal oriented.
