How her approaches shape online sessions
Online sessions with Shelly draw on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and shift behaviors. CBT helps with anxiety, low mood, and repetitive worry by giving practical exercises and experiments to try between sessions.She also uses Mindfulness Therapy to increase present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity. Mindfulness work typically includes short, guided practices and learning to notice patterns of thought and feeling without immediate reaction. Motivational Interviewing is used when someone feels uncertain about change; it focuses on exploring ambivalence and building motivation in small steps.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Shelly will collaborate with each person to pick methods that fit their goals, preferences, and day-to-day life. She reviews what is working and adjusts the plan as needed so sessions stay practical and focused.
