About Shelley
Shelley integrates mindfulness into her work, drawing on the idea that even amid difficulty there is more that is right than wrong when one attends to the present moment. She aims to be the kind of counselor she wished she had found herself - a careful listener who blends kindness, compassion, and a bit of humor to support change. Shelley helps clients explore strengths, develop new strategies for stress, relationships, and life transitions, and move toward clearer, more satisfying ways of living.
Shelley is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), a credential that indicates advanced training in clinical social work and therapeutic practice. She takes pride in the progress her clients make and offers grounded, encouraging guidance for those seeking practical, mindful change.
Approaches that guide online therapy
Shelley Dodt draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify unhelpful thought patterns and try small, practical changes that can reduce anxiety, depression, and stress. CBT focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and is useful for everyday mood and coping challenges.
She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills to teach emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and improved interpersonal effectiveness. DBT is practical for people who struggle with intense emotions, relationship conflicts, or patterns of reactivity.
Mindfulness Therapy is woven throughout her work, helping clients learn present-moment awareness and self-compassion so they can respond to difficulties with more clarity and steadiness. Mindfulness supports better stress management and clearer decision making.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Shelley works collaboratively with each client to assess needs, preferences, and goals, adapting methods over time so therapy remains useful and relevant.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to continue work during life transitions. These options help maintain continuity of care and make it simpler for clients to access licensed professionals from familiar settings.
