About Shelley
She works from a person-centered model that emphasizes inclusivity and compassion, helping people identify clear goals and developing treatment plans tailored to their unique needs. Professionally trained in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing, she selects techniques that best fit each person rather than relying on a single method. This flexible approach supports coping with life changes, trauma and abuse, grief, and other complex situations.
Shelley strives to create a respectful, nonjudgmental environment that honors people of all ages, genders, sexual orientations, and backgrounds. She acknowledges that seeking help takes courage and aims to guide clients step by step toward their goals. She is not currently accepting new clients.
Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Shelley integrates client-centered therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) into her online practice. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and building a collaborative relationship so clients can clarify values and goals - it helps with relationship, self-esteem, and life transition concerns. CBT examines how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and uses practical strategies to reduce anxiety, depression, and unhelpful patterns. DBT teaches skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and improving interpersonal effectiveness, which can be useful for intense emotions, trauma-related symptoms, and relationship struggles.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Shelley works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods align with their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques over time as progress is made. Licensed professionals can draw from multiple approaches to create a personalized plan.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options allow clients to access consistent support around work and family schedules, reduce travel time, and connect with a therapist from familiar surroundings, while still engaging in targeted, evidence-informed care with a licensed therapist.
