About Shelle
Her work is practical and collaborative. She listens closely, helps people name patterns in their thoughts and everyday habits, and offers steps to change them. Sessions are conversational and focused on what is useful for day-to-day life rather than on jargon or labels.
Clients often come for help with panic attacks, obsessive thoughts, postpartum depression, or substance use concerns. Shelle pays particular attention to attachment issues and how early relationships shape current reactions. She also supports people dealing with shame, infidelity, and complicated grief.
Her approach draws on Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy, and Trauma-Focused Therapy. She works to create a calm space where people can explore feelings, try new behaviors, and build better routines that fit their lives.
People describe the process as steady and respectful. The emphasis is on small, manageable changes in thinking and daily habits. That makes progress feel more achievable even when life feels overwhelming.

How Shelle’s Approaches Fit with Online Therapy
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early bonds shape current relationships and emotional reactions. In online sessions this can help people notice patterns in closeness and distance, and practice different ways of connecting that reduce anxiety and mistrust.Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people identify and name core emotions and then respond to them differently. This approach is useful for managing overwhelming feelings tied to loss, trauma, or relationship hurt and can be carried out effectively through conversation and reflective exercises online.
Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will discuss goals, try approaches, and adjust as needed so the work fits personal needs and preferences. Clients help steer what feels most helpful over time.
Confirm the current session options before booking, since the biography does not list specific formats. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also let someone use a quieter location, avoid camera use if preferred, or schedule appointments during a work break. Ask about the available session formats when you complete the matching questionnaire.
