Background and approach
Shalette also draws on emotionally-focused and mindfulness methods to help people better understand feelings and stay present during hard moments. Solution-focused ideas get woven in to help create manageable, short-term plans when immediate problems arise. This mix aims to be flexible and straightforward, not theoretical.
Across 12 years of experience, Shalette has helped people address grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, sleep problems, career strain, and caregiver stress. She works with issues related to trauma, attachment, abandonment, chronic illness, and domestic violence in a way that centers the person's sense of safety and control. Sessions are offered in English.
People typically find the pace direct and practical, with an emphasis on building skills and clearer ways to move forward. Shalette encourages honest conversations about goals so therapy matches what each person needs.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the person's priorities, giving space for them to name goals and pace. This approach helps when someone needs support to sort feelings and decide what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete techniques to change unhelpful patterns; it is useful for anxiety, depression, ADHD-related focus and routine challenges, and sleep problems.Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will work together with the person to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and practical needs. Sessions often blend approaches so the plan can shift as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let people use visual cues and longer conversations. Phone sessions can fit a busy schedule or use less bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging allow brief check-ins, quick reflections, or ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make therapy easier to fit into work, caregiving, or other daily demands while keeping the focus on making steady, usable progress.
