About Shalanie

LPCC in California with 12 years of experience, Shalanie Goueth helps people working through relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related struggles, and major life changes. She speaks English and works from a perspective that people bring strengths they can use to move forward. She invites practical steps and direct conversation rather than long lectures.

Her approach centers on helping people name what they want to change and try small, concrete strategies to get there. Sessions focus on communication skills, managing control issues, and coping tools for stress. She also addresses guilt, shame, and the effects of post-traumatic stress in ways that aim to restore everyday functioning.

Shalanie helps people sort through problems related to divorce and separation, workplace strain, and social anxiety. She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide conversations and to structure homework between sessions when that is useful. The emphasis is on short, manageable tasks that fit into daily life.

In the room she treats clients as knowledgeable about their own lives. That means decisions about pace and focus are shared. Progress is tracked by noticeable changes in relationships, routines, and the client’s ability to handle triggers.

Sessions are conducted from California and are provided in English. The practice does not accept international clients. Before booking, confirm the current session formats offered so you know whether they match your needs.

To start, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the See online therapy options button. The practice uses a subscription that can be canceled at any time, and cost varies with location.

Approaches and how online sessions are handled

Shalanie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to structure work with relationship and trauma-related concerns. One common approach she uses focuses on practical skills for communication and managing interpersonal conflict; this involves role practice, clear goal-setting, and step-by-step exercises to test new behaviors. Another approach addresses trauma symptoms with grounding and stabilization strategies to reduce reactivity and improve daily functioning in the face of triggers.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. She treats the selection of techniques as collaborative, reviewing what helps and adjusting plans to match a person’s goals and pace. Clients can expect discussion about what to try and why, with options adjusted over time based on results.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Practical benefits of remote sessions include fitting appointments into a busy schedule, making shorter check-ins possible during work breaks, and avoiding travel time. Online work can also allow for easier follow-up and assignment review between meetings. Licensed professionals commonly use these formats to keep therapy accessible while focusing on real-life changes.
