About Shanelle
LMHC in New York with six years of professional experience, Shanelle Slade helps people address stress, anxiety, mood concerns, relationship challenges, and substance issues. She works with a wide range of concerns including bipolar disorder, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy, and sleep problems. She also supports people navigating parenting strain, career changes, anger, self-esteem, and non-monogamous relationship dynamics.
Shanelle uses practical, goal-focused methods in sessions. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. Sessions focus on clear steps people can try between meetings and on identifying what gets in the way of daily functioning.
Before entering practice she spent time working as an insurance case manager, which informs how she discusses treatment planning and external supports. That background gives her experience coordinating care and understanding systems that affect access to services. Her New York LMHC credential reflects clinical training and supervised practice.
In the room she prioritizes a straightforward, solution-oriented style. Conversations tend to center on specific problems, immediate coping strategies, and realistic next steps. She helps clients name patterns, test small changes, and track what works.
People looking for help with first responder issues, HIV/AIDS related concerns, hospice and end-of-life matters, or addictions can bring those needs to sessions. She accepts international clients and conducts work in English. To start, prospective clients complete a short questionnaire and schedule an initial meeting.

How Shanelle uses established approaches in remote work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that fit their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and times when life changes feel overwhelming. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, behaviors, and feelings and tests new ways of responding. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, mood issues, and sleep concerns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and collaboration so clients guide the pace and topics of sessions.Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences, try approaches that match those goals, and adjust as needed. The idea is to find practical methods the client can use between sessions and to check what helps over time.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Remote work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-in sessions when needed. It also lets people continue work with a licensed professional from different locations, with the therapist adapting methods like ACT and CBT to work well in virtual meetings.
