About Shanelle
Shanelle Slade is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in New York with six years of clinical experience. She helps people who are coping with stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar concerns, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, and relationship and intimacy-related issues. She also supports people facing career changes, parenting challenges, sleep problems, anger, low self-esteem, and issues related to LGBT identity and polyamory or non-monogamous relationships.
Shanelle uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) alongside approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Motivational Interviewing. In sessions she focuses on practical steps and problem solving while also paying attention to emotions beneath recurring patterns. She aims to help clients notice how feelings shape behavior and relationships, then build different ways of responding.
Her background includes direct clinical work with mood and anxiety concerns, substance-related issues, and relationship difficulties, and she has experience in case management. That mix informs a straightforward style that combines skill-building with attention to emotional experience. People can expect clear goals and collaborative planning in sessions.
Shanelle works with a broad range of life adjustments, including first responder issues, HIV/AIDS–related concerns, and hospice and end-of-life counseling. She accepts international clients and conducts sessions in English. The site matching process is used to arrange an initial appointment and to confirm session details.
How Shanelle uses EFT, ACT and CBT in online sessions
Shanelle combines Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) with approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). EFT focuses on identifying and naming emotions and how they shape relationship and personal patterns. ACT helps people notice thoughts and values and take committed action toward what matters. CBT looks at unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and teaches practical skills to change them.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. She will collaborate with each client to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That means checking in early about what feels helpful and adjusting methods as therapy progresses.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm available options when you book. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter or more flexible check-ins when needed. They also let people work from wherever they are located, which can be helpful for international clients. Licensed professionals will discuss practical details like scheduling, session length, and any technical needs before the first appointment.
