About Selene Negrette

Selene Negrette is a licensed master social worker (LMSW) who supports adults facing relationship difficulties, grief and bereavement, trauma, anxiety, stress, mood concerns and family challenges. She approaches therapy from a strengths-based, nonjudgmental stance and seeks to help people find greater meaning, direction and satisfaction in their lives.

Selene has a particular interest in working with individuals who identify as highly sensitive people (HSPs) or empaths, helping them recognize the strengths that sensitivity brings and develop practical ways to navigate a world that can feel overwhelming. Her work blends mindfulness-informed cognitive-behavioral techniques and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance and clearer communication.

She is trained in trauma-informed Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) to address body-held trauma and has training in Cognitive Processing Therapy and Internal Family Systems (IFS). Bilingual in English and Spanish, Selene is able to offer therapy in either language and tailors her approach to each person’s needs and lived experience.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Selene uses client-centered therapy to create a welcoming, strength-focused environment where the person’s own goals and values guide the work. This approach emphasizes empathy, active listening and collaboration to help people feel understood and to build on their existing resources.

She also integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and patterns and developing practical strategies to change them. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, stress and problems that benefit from skill-building and structured approaches.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills are another important part of her practice, offering concrete tools for emotion regulation, distress tolerance and improving interpersonal effectiveness. DBT techniques help people manage intense emotions and strengthen relationships.

Finding the right approach is collaborative - Selene works with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals and preferences, and adapts the plan as therapy progresses.

Online therapy with Selene is available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, which allows for flexible scheduling and access from different locations. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and integrate therapeutic work into a busy life while still working with licensed professionals and therapists who support each step of the process.
