About Shelby

She works with adults on relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting stress, career strain, and ADHD-related struggles.

She draws on 18 years of experience to tailor care to each person. Shelby uses clear, everyday language to talk through emotions and thoughts.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on skills that reduce overwhelm and improve daily functioning. Shelby often blends cognitive-behavioral techniques with approaches that emphasize values and relationships. That means clients practice new behaviors and also look at what matters most to them.
She pays attention to attachment patterns and how they shape communication and closeness. Her work addresses trauma and difficult life events with care, helping people process painful memories and regain coping tools. Shelby also supports those dealing with identity and gender matters, eating and sleeping concerns, and compassion fatigue from caregiving or demanding jobs.
People meet Shelby through short goal-focused conversations and progress checks. She encourages small, achievable steps and stays practical about change. Her aim is to help clients build skills they can use long after therapy ends.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small actions toward those values. Online ACT sessions often include values exercises and short behavioral experiments to try between meetings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors. In remote sessions CBT uses structured practice, worksheets, and brief homework to strengthen coping skills.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. Shelby will work with each person to figure out which methods match their goals, history, and daily life. She often blends techniques so clients can build practical skills while also addressing relationship and attachment patterns that affect wellbeing.
Online therapy offers flexibility and multiple ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions can be a good fit when bandwidth is low or a quieter voice check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, tracking progress, or getting support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit counseling into work, caregiving, or busy schedules while still focusing on meaningful change.
