Getting to know Shawn Edgington
I believe therapy works best when it feels safe, genuine, and grounded in real life. Through The Edge of Hope, I provide online counseling for adults who are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, anxious, or worn down by life’s demands and transitions. My goal is to meet you exactly where you are—without judgment—and help you find steadiness, clarity, and hope again.
I have over 20 years of experience working in mental health, supporting individuals through anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, and major life changes. I have a special focus on women’s mental health, including perimenopause and midlife transitions, and I understand how emotional, physical, and relational stress often overlap during these seasons.
My approach is warm, collaborative, and practical. I primarily use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), blended with compassion, insight, and real-world strategies you can actually use outside of sessions. Therapy with me isn’t about “fixing” you—it’s about helping you better understand yourself, quiet the constant mental noise, and build skills that make daily life feel more manageable.
Clients often tell me they appreciate my calm presence and straightforward style. I believe therapy should feel like a steady place to land—a space where you can slow down, talk honestly, and work through things at your own pace.
Reaching out for support can feel hard, especially if you’ve been carrying everything on your own. You don’t have to do that here. We’ll take this one step at a time.
What should a new client know about working with you?
When you work with me, you can expect a calm, supportive, and judgment-free space. I take a collaborative approach to therapy—we’ll work together at a pace that feels comfortable for you. You don’t need to have everything figured out or know exactly what to say. We’ll start where you are.
My style is warm and grounded, with a focus on helping you better understand what’s happening internally and how it’s showing up in your daily life. I primarily use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), along with practical tools and coping strategies you can use between sessions. I believe therapy should be useful, not overwhelming.
I value honesty, safety, and real conversations. Some sessions may focus on processing emotions, while others may be more skills-based and goal-oriented—depending on what you need in that moment. I’ll offer guidance, reflections, and gentle challenges when helpful, but you remain in control of the process.
Most importantly, this is a space where you don’t have to carry everything alone. We’ll take things one step at a time and focus on creating steadiness, clarity, and meaningful progress.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
My work with clients begins with creating a space that feels calm, safe, and supportive. In our first sessions, we focus on getting to know you—your story, what’s bringing you to therapy, and what you’re hoping will change. There is no pressure to share everything at once. We move at a pace that feels respectful and manageable, building trust along the way.
A typical session is a balance of conversation, reflection, and practical guidance. We may talk through current stressors, explore patterns in thoughts and emotions, and look at how those patterns impact daily life, relationships, or decision-making. I often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop tools to reduce anxiety, improve mood, and increase emotional regulation.
Some sessions are more process-focused—making space to understand emotions and experiences—while others are more structured and skills-based. I regularly offer coping strategies, grounding tools, and real-world techniques that clients can practice between sessions. Therapy is not about perfection or quick fixes, but about building awareness, steadiness, and confidence over time.
As therapy continues, we check in on progress and adjust goals as needed. I believe therapy works best when it is collaborative and flexible, adapting to what you need in each season of life.
Overall, my role is to walk alongside you, offering guidance, support, and practical tools while helping you build insight and resilience. Therapy is a place to slow down, speak honestly, and work toward meaningful, lasting change.
