About me

Hi, My name is Sean O'Hara. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in New York and Maine with over 5 years of experience working in the Mental Health field. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, mood disorders, grief and loss, life transitions, and family/relationship issues. I graduated from Fordham University in 2017 with an MSW, and have worked in a variety of clinical settings including inpatient and outpatient mental health facilities.

I am a solution-focused therapist with a person-centered approach. I strongly believe in the resiliency of the human spirit and identifying those things which motivate you as an individual. There is no judgment in my therapeutic process. My purpose for you is to create a therapeutic atmosphere that will meet you where you are at while exploring where you want to be. While I have specialty training in CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), CT-R (Recovery-Oriented Cognitive Therapy), Mindfulness, and Motivational Interviewing, my approach is always tailored to your needs in a way we both see fit to meet your goals.

Taking that first step to seek therapy can certainly be a challenge in and of itself, but if you are willing to take that step then I am committed to supporting and empowering you toward the life you are meant to lead. I look forward to working together.

Sean is not only a great therapist, he’s a great person. I was very new to therapy and he made it very comfortable and easy to get into. He helped me get through one of the darkest times of my life and I’m forever grateful.

Written on Feb 24, 2023 after therapy with Sean for 10 months on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, relationship issues, family conflicts, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting issues, coping with life changes, and compassion fatigue

I have been seeing Sean for a little over 6 months, and in that time I have made some sizeable decisions that have changed my life for the better.

Sean is a very attentive listener and was really helpful in establishing a baseline for the kind of therapy I needed. Rather than pushing conclusions on my personal challenges, he asks thought provoking questions which lead me to come to uncover feelings and thoughts I didn't even know were there.

Sean provides a welcoming environment where I feel comfortable sharing personal stories and feelings. I would definitely recommend Sean as a therapist, especially someone coping with life changes.

Sean has helped me grow out of a no confidence, no boundaries, and on edge life to a thriving, boundary full, and fully confident life. My life has changed significantly since starting my journey with Sean’s help.
