Approach-Focused Care Delivered Online
Shelley uses client-centered therapy to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where individuals lead the pace and focus of their work while the therapist provides empathy and understanding. This approach is well suited to people who need validation, stronger self-awareness, and a collaborative relationship to explore personal goals.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is another central approach Shelley offers. CBT helps identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors by teaching practical skills for managing symptoms of anxiety, depression, and negative thinking patterns.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, complements these methods by focusing on emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. DBT techniques can be particularly helpful for those experiencing intense emotions, impulsivity, or relationship conflicts.
Shelley views finding the right approach as a collaborative process. She works with clients to select or combine methods based on individual needs, goals, and preferences so the plan fits the person rather than forcing a single model.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for scheduling and for engaging in ways that feel most accessible. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care around work, family, and daily life while still working with licensed professionals and therapists to make steady progress.
