About Shellby
Shellby Custer is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Pennsylvania with 23 years of practice. She focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and related concerns. Her work centers on helping people manage life changes and rebuild a sense of self.
She commonly helps people who are coping with grief, relationship strain, parenting pressures, and career transitions. She also addresses issues such as addictions, sleep problems, ADHD, mood disorders, and intimacy-related concerns. Her practice includes attention to attachment and family of origin issues.
Shellby uses a mix of practical talk and reflective work. Sessions often involve identifying unhelpful patterns, trying new ways of responding, and building steady coping skills. She draws on methods that look at thoughts, relationships, and personal stories to find useful changes.
People bring both recent stress and long-standing struggles to sessions. Shellby works with grief, sexual assault and abuse recovery, post-traumatic stress, and chronic illness or pain as part of that range. She also supports those dealing with shame, guilt, and feelings of emptiness.
Her practice includes motivational and narrative techniques to clarify goals and make forward progress. Attachment-based ideas guide work with relationship patterns and closeness issues. Mindfulness-based approaches are used to strengthen present-moment coping and reduce reactivity.
BHow sessions work
How attachment, CBT and mindfulness translate to online work
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationship patterns affect current relationships and closeness. In sessions this can mean mapping relationship dynamics and practicing new responses to reduce repeating old patterns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. Online CBT sessions often include short exercises, homework, and practical strategies to change thinking and behavior. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing skills to reduce reactivity and improve coping during stressful moments. Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the collaborative process. The therapist and client review goals, preferences, and daily life demands to decide which methods to emphasize. That choice can shift over time as needs change. Confirm the session formats before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, and reduce travel time. It also lets people use tools like written exercises and screen-sharing during sessions to support CBT and narrative work. Ask about current session options when you complete the matching questionnaire so practical arrangements can be planned before the first appointment.CAreas of focus
