Trevor Schabert, LPCC

Trevor Schabert is a licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) based in Minnesota who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, and life changes. He offers a calm, nonjudgmental presence for people coping with trauma, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting concerns, career stress, and struggles with self-esteem. Trevor also supports those dealing with ADHD, compassion fatigue, and identity-related worries. He uses practical methods to help clients notice unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors. Sessions often include straightforward tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness exercises to reduce reactivity. Trevor also draws on client-centered methods to make space for each person’s story and occasionally integrates hypnotherapy and motivational interviewing when they fit a client's goals. Trevor aims for clear, achievable steps in therapy. He helps people set small goals, practice skills between sessions, and revisit what’s working. This approach is useful for everyday problems like stress at work, parenting strain, or navigating a big life transition. With six years of experience, he focuses on building resilience and self-compassion. Trevor prioritizes an affirming tone for LGBT concerns and attention to family-related difficulties, blended family issues, and fatherhood matters. He also addresses problems such as abandonment, guilt and shame, isolation, and communication breakdowns. Sessions are offered in English and available through video, phone, live chat, or text messaging. People begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling based on therapist availability.

How therapeutic approaches fit into online sessions

CBT, or cognitive behavioral therapy, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing different behaviors to reduce anxiety and low mood. It often uses short exercises and homework you can practice between sessions to build new habits.

Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and making space for the person's own goals. The therapist follows the client's lead, offering empathy and reflection to help people clarify values and choices.

Hypnotherapy uses guided relaxation and focused attention to help access thoughts and images that can support change; it is sometimes used for habit shifts, managing stress, or calming intense reactions.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Trevor will work together with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative process can include trying different techniques and checking in often about what helps.

Online formats make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives. Video calls let people use visual cues and face-to-face conversation. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be useful for a focused check-in. Live chat and text messaging offer short, flexible ways to stay connected between longer sessions. These options allow therapists and clients to shape a schedule and format that work for them.
