About Shelly

Shelly Wilson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, FL LCSW, with 23 years of experience helping people manage everyday pressures. She works with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, relationship concerns, parenting challenges, anger, and issues around self-esteem and intimacy.

Shelly aims for clear, practical conversations. She listens first and then helps people identify small steps that make life more manageable. Sessions focus on what is causing strain now and what can be done differently in daily routines and relationships.

Her background includes many years working with people facing complicated life changes and repeated stress. That work brought experience with compassion fatigue, midlife transitions, and problems that come from and affect family dynamics. She also has experience around panic, dissociation, and recovery from domestic violence.

Shelly uses a mix of approaches, drawing on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Emotionally-Focused ideas. In plain terms she helps people notice unhelpful patterns, practice new ways of responding, and clarify what matters most to them.

People choosing her often want straightforward help balancing work, family, health, and relationships. She asks practical questions and helps build habits that fit a busy life. To get started she invites prospective clients to complete the site's matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session.

BHow sessions work

Therapeutic approaches for remote work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people identify their values and take small actions that align with those values even when feelings are strong. It can help with anxiety, depression, and managing life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It teaches practical skills to change patterns that maintain worry, panic, or low mood. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, brings in skills for regulating emotions, managing intense reactions, and improving communication in relationships.

Finding the right approach is often part of the early sessions. The therapist will work collaboratively to match methods to a client's goals, preferences, and the problems they want to address. That means trying practical exercises, tracking what helps, and adjusting the plan as needed.

Confirm the session formats offered before booking so you know what to expect. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten travel time, and allow for brief check-ins when schedules are tight. It also lets people use approaches like CBT worksheets, ACT values exercises, and DBT skills practice without needing to come into an office, while the therapist guides the process and helps apply the tools to everyday life.
