How her approaches fit into online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and reconnect with what matters to them. It uses simple exercises to build willingness to act on values even when unpleasant feelings show up. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going and teaches practical skills to change those patterns. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people name and sit with strong feelings so relationships and personal responses can shift.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Shelley will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and then try methods that seem to fit. That choice is collaborative and can change as progress is made.

This profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online therapy helpful because it can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Online work also makes it possible to practice skills between meetings and to use worksheets or brief exercises during sessions to build new routines.
