About Shelley
Shelley Dodt is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Florida with five years of practice experience. She works with adults on everyday problems like anxiety, depression, job stress, grief, relationship strain, parenting concerns, and coping with life changes. Shelley also lists support for issues such as trauma and abuse, sleep difficulties, and compassion fatigue.
Shelley uses straightforward conversation and practical tools. She draws on mindfulness to help people notice automatic reactions and calm intense feelings. She also teaches coping skills so people can spot triggers and respond differently when stress shows up.
In sessions she helps people identify which behaviors are getting them closer to their goals and which are not. Then she and the client try small changes that can make daily life easier. She talks about strengths and how to use them more often.
Her approach blends skill-building and problem solving. Shelley uses techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to address unhelpful thinking and strong emotions. She also uses Motivational Interviewing and solution-focused ideas to set achievable steps toward change.
Shelley names herself a life coach in addition to being a social worker, and she aims to mix practical guidance with some humor. People who want clear tools and short-term skill work are likely to find this style direct and pragmatic.
