Shelley Goldstein, LPC

Shelley Goldstein is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas who draws on six years of clinical practice. She brings a calm, approachable manner and a focus on everyday problems like stress and anxiety. Shelley aims to help people who are juggling school, work, identity questions, or life transitions find clearer footing.

She emphasizes a strengths-focused, warm approach that values honesty and practical change. Sessions tend to center on what’s happening now and on skills people can use between meetings. Shelley mixes collaborative conversation with targeted techniques to reduce distress and improve daily functioning.

Shelley works with a wide range of concerns including ADHD, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, eating and body image struggles, and parenting stress. She also addresses relationship issues, attachment and abandonment worries, codependency, and problems with communication and control.

Her methods include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, and Solution-Focused Therapy. These approaches are used to help people process difficult memories, build new habits, and set small, doable goals.

Sessions are offered in English and take place with a Texas-licensed LPC. For people unsure how to start, Shelley recommends a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first appointment to see if the fit feels right.

How Shelley’s approaches translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and it focuses on values-based actions to move life forward. This approach can help with stress, anxiety, and decision-making during life transitions.

Client-Centered Therapy centers on listening and reflecting so the person feels heard and understood. It supports building insight and confidence through a nonjudgmental, empathic therapeutic relationship.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a method used to process upsetting memories and reduce their emotional intensity. It can be helpful for people coping with trauma or distressing events.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Shelley will work with each person to figure out which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That conversation shapes session focus and techniques moving forward.

Practical benefits of online therapy include easier fitting of sessions into a busy schedule and fewer barriers to attending regularly. Different session arrangements can make it simpler to have shorter check-ins, schedule meetings around work or school, or avoid travel time. Confirm the specific session options Shelley currently offers before booking so arrangements match your needs.
