Sean Sprigle

Most people contact Sean Sprigle when they’ve already been carrying something heavy for too long — substance use that’s taken hold, trauma that won’t stay quiet, anxiety or depression that has made ordinary life feel out of reach. Sean is an LPCC based in Los Angeles whose clients describe him as compassionate, patient, and uncommonly willing to meet them exactly where they are.

What sets Sean apart is the honesty he brings to his own story. Before becoming a psychotherapist, he worked through substance abuse, PTSD, unresolved trauma, anxiety, and panic attacks of his own — and that personal reckoning directly shapes the way he practices. He works with teenagers and young adults, men, women, and older adults dealing with addiction, trauma, abuse, mood disorders, and more. His training includes EMDR, Internal Family Systems, the Comprehensive Resource Model, CBT, and Motivational Interviewing — approaches he’s found translate well to a fully virtual format, where he sees the same pace of progress he once did in person. For clients who scroll compulsively or find their sleep wrecked by late-night screen habits, tools like guided visualization offer a concrete way to begin rebuilding a quieter internal baseline.

Sean’s practice is cash-pay, with superbills available for insurance reimbursement, and he offers a free phone consultation to anyone wondering whether he might be the right fit.
