About Shawn
Shawn Strohfus is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps people navigating stress, anxiety, low self esteem, bipolar disorder, and depression. She aims to make starting therapy less stressful by offering a simple, down-to-earth approach. Shawn emphasizes a nonjudgmental space where clients can be honest and start working on practical steps forward.
She believes change grows out of a trusting relationship. Sessions focus on building useful skills and on increasing self-awareness. Shawn works at a pace clients set and concentrates on small, manageable changes that add up over time.
Shawn uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide conversations and skill-building. She centers collaboration - clients and therapist decide together what to try next. That can mean practicing new ways to manage anxiety or testing different routines to steady mood.
Her work also addresses related concerns such as attachment difficulties, codependency, caregiver stress, communication problems, workplace strain, and challenges around life purpose. Shawn listens for how these issues affect day-to-day functioning and helps people sort priorities so progress feels doable.
Shawn brings 11 years of clinical experience in California to her practice as an LCSW, Licensed Clinical Social Worker. Her approach is practical, warm, and focused on what matters to each person. To begin, she encourages people to take the first step and complete a short matching questionnaire so scheduling can follow.
