Shelly Grabiak, LCSW

Shelly Grabiak is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Florida with five years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, grief, and major life changes. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish and she accepts international clients.

Shelly focuses on practical steps clients can use day to day. She talks through coping strategies for anxiety and stress. She helps people who are grieving or who are managing changes like illness, caregiving, or aging. Conversations are direct and aimed at clearer next steps rather than abstract theory.

Her background includes work in healthcare and community settings. That experience informs how she addresses chronic illness, caregiver stress, hospice and end-of-life concerns, and first responder issues. She is familiar with substance use and codependency and helps people sort communication and control problems that get in the way of daily life.

Shelly uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to support recovery from trauma and to manage mood and behavior. She draws on methods that focus on symptoms, patterns, and practical skills so clients can apply what they learn between sessions. The emphasis is on actions that fit a person’s life and responsibilities.

People who choose Shelly can expect straightforward conversations about goals, regular review of progress, and planning for real-world challenges. She values honesty and professional ethics and integrates what she has learned from working in hospitals, hotlines, clinics, and hospice settings into each session.

Outside work she enjoys hiking and running with her dogs, yoga and breathwork, and spending time with family and animals. These interests inform a down-to-earth approach to everyday problems.
