Shawntrell Moore, LCPC

Shawntrell Moore is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) based in Illinois who helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, relationship strain, addiction, or the effects of trauma. He speaks plainly and focuses on practical steps people can use right away. He also supports family members who need strategies to help a loved one who is struggling.

Shawntrell centers sessions on untangling the gap between actions and values. He works with clients to notice unhelpful thoughts, build coping skills, and create a plan that fits everyday life. The aim is steady progress, not quick fixes, with attention to recovery and early sobriety when relevant.

He has 17 years of clinical experience and a master’s degree from the University of Illinois. His practice draws on a mix of trauma-informed care, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy to tailor the work to each person’s needs. That blend helps when people are dealing with addiction, attachment or abandonment wounds, and relationship challenges.

Common focus areas include adoption and foster care issues, blended family challenges, caregiver stress, codependency, commitment and communication problems, dissociation, and recovery from domestic violence or substance misuse. Shawntrell also supports people working on body image, feelings of emptiness, and the fallout from divorce or separation.

He frames therapy as a collaborative process. Clients and Shawntrell set goals together, track progress, and adjust plans as life changes. This approach keeps work focused and practical, aimed at building a more purposeful life.

How evidence-based approaches translate to online work

Shawntrell integrates several evidence-based techniques into his work in clear, action-focused ways. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people see and change unhelpful thought patterns that fuel anxiety or self-defeating actions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy provides practical tools for managing strong emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. Motivational Interviewing is used to clarify goals and strengthen motivation for change, which can be especially useful during early recovery.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. He collaborates with each person to pick methods that match their needs, goals, and comfort level. Together they track progress and adjust techniques over time so sessions stay relevant and effective.
