Remote therapy using evidence-informed methods
Shelly offers online sessions that integrate client-centered listening with structured therapeutic skills. She uses Client-Centered Therapy to build rapport and understand each person’s priorities, creating a collaborative plan that reflects individual pace and values.When specific coping skills are helpful, she draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques to teach practical ways to manage emotions, reduce unhelpful thinking patterns, and practice new behaviors. Motivational Interviewing informs conversations about change, especially around substance use or other goals where ambivalence is common.
Online work can proceed through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging depending on the person’s needs and comfort. Shelly frames the process as a partnership: she brings tools and recommendations, and the person decides which approaches fit their life and goals.
