About Sean
Dr. Sean Spelgatti is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) with eleven years of clinical experience.
Background and approach
He holds a PhD in Counseling and brings a practical, problem-solving approach to therapy. He aims to listen carefully and help people find clear, workable steps toward feeling better.
He draws on a range of methods to match each person's needs. That can include the Gottman Method for relationship patterns, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and actions, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to shift unhelpful thinking.
He tailors methods rather than relying on a single technique. Sessions tend to be down-to-earth.
Conversations focus on concrete goals, coping skills, and choices you can use between appointments. He emphasizes understanding patterns that keep problems going and building small changes that add up.
Dr. Spelgatti also pays attention to life context.
He can help with stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, addiction concerns, grief, trauma, and relationship or parenting strain. He brings experience with a wide range of related issues like body image, chronic illness, caregiver stress, and career transitions.
He offers a collaborative process that includes reviewing what’s working, trying strategies, and adjusting over time. People who want a thoughtful listener who also gives direct, practical suggestions may find his style a good fit.
Therapeutic approaches for online sessions
Dr. Spelgatti uses approaches that translate well to online work. The Gottman Method looks at patterns between partners and teaches practical skills for managing conflicts and building connection in day-to-day life. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying personal values and taking committed action even when difficult thoughts or feelings show up. Attachment-Based Therapy examines relationship patterns that formed early on and helps people build more supported ways of relating to others.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, try methods that fit those goals, and change course as needed. That collaborative decision-making helps keep sessions practical and relevant to real life.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which offer different conveniences. Video works well for in-depth conversations and skills practice. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging let people exchange brief updates or work through ideas between longer sessions. These options help therapy fit around busy schedules and changing needs.
